"That's Not a Fault...It's a Character Trait" by Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.

Acclaimed rabbi and psychiatrist Abraham J. Twerski brings psychology to life with the beloved characters of Charles M. Schultz's "Peanuts".  Just as it is easier to see flaws in others as opposed to oneself, it is even easier to see flaws in cartoon characters.  Someone struggling with feelings of low self worth may not realize it until they see their same behavior reflected in Charlie Brown.  Someone struggling with feelings of fantasy may not realize it until they see their same behavior reflected in Snoopy.  Someone struggling with feelings of narcissism may not realize it until they see their same behavior reflected in Lucy.  Throughout the book, Twerski shows us how the very same traits depicted in the life of cartoon characters are inside us all to some degree.  Words can not do this book justice.  Readers are encouraged to follow along the "Peanuts" gang in Twerski's masterpiece to see how psychology becomes little more than children's play when viewed objectively.  While Twerski is not against therapy--he is a psychologist after all--his book goes to show us that sometimes all that's needed to spark change is to see one's faults reflected in someone else.  If that happens to be a "Peanuts" character, so be it.
