[Tori · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am hesitant to rate this. I was looking forward to reading something by Dr. Shneidman. I didn't realize it was a book of essays by Harvard students. It just wasn't what I had in mind. I might enjoy reading it more later. None of the essays really caught my eye. I skimmed a few, but the font of the type is very distracting and difficult to read.
