Endnotes
The author gives advice for sleeplessness along with the timing of the first phase of Covid-19 pandemic and its overall effects on physical and mental health. She notes that since that time, there is an increase in remembering dreams. There are a few examples of dream descriptions, but she states the book is not a dream dictionary. She discusses that grief is not only associated with death. It can be caused by any loss. She refers to one of my favorite poems, Desierata. In the back of the book are many helpful links. I think this is a good book for anyone who wants to look deeper into their own mental and physical health.
