Spazz ha scritto:vorrei leggere "running on empty" Che citi spesso quando si tratta di argomenti vicini alla mia esperienza personale. Che tipo di lettura è scorrevole o nozionistica?
Ha un taglio piuttosto confessionale/intimista, cioè molto orientato al racconto di esempi o di esperienze dei pazienti, in modo da dare al lettore la possibilità di vedere se vi si rispecchia.
Non è per nulla nozionistico, l'autrice è alquanto empatica e per nulla cerebrale. Il linguaggio è semplice e accessibile, poco tecnico.
