Rabbi Yaakov Salomon, C.S.W. is a noted psychotherapist, in private practice in Brooklyn, N.Y. for over 25 years. He is a Senior Lecturer and the Creative Director of Aish Hatorah's Discovery Productions. He is also an editor and author for the Artscroll Publishing Series and a member of the Kollel of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath.

In these marvelous stories -- brimming with wit, understanding, a touch of irony and a large helping of authentic Torah perspective -- we will walk with a renowned and experienced psychotherapist and popular author through the pathways of contemporary life: its crowded sidewalks, its pedestrian malls, and the occasional dead end street. This is a walk through our lives that will be fun, entertaining -- and eye-opening. In our full -- sometimes overfull -- and complex lives, Yaakov Salomon is a welcome and much-needed voice of sanity and reason.
His speaking, writing and musical talents have delighted audiences from Harvard to Broadway and everything in between. Rabbi Salomon shares his life with his wife, Temmy, and their unpredictable family.

What a wonderful measuring tool
Thank you for sharing this idea with us! I found it to be a great measuring tool. I put it in a journal format and I am keeping notes about each issue as I work on them. Today is always a good day to start, that way we never regret. Thanks again!

informative and practical as usual !
I'm a bit confused about the giving yourself a grade (column 2) and the arrows. Is the grade for the past 12 months and if so what do the arrows mean? Thank you and a G'mar Chasima Tova

very worthwhile advice
I never heard of Rabbi Yaakov Salomon, if I did I probably would have used him as a therapist. I live in Israel now. I wish all of you at Aish Hatorah, a year of miracles, a year of peace and happiness and health! Rivkah
