The Love Mechanic

Dave Norton had a decades-long private practice as a therapist, specializing in youth and addictions. While studying Counselling Psychology at the UBC, Norton was exposed to a concept called Mattering. He says, "It came to me like a beautiful set of fireworks that exploded in the sky above, showering me in a burst of beautiful colours. Mattering showed me a new way to move forward, with tools that help to make all our relationships stronger, more loving, and more spirit-lifting." This is not a typical self-help book; the text is complimented with songs Norton wrote that relate to the concepts in the book. The stories, tools, and music create a memorable, multi-layered experience.
