Thom Rutledge

Welcome to my Author Page. You will find all of my titles listed here & I hope you will discover my material to both enjoyable & useful. My most recent release is a Kindle e-book called Sit Down & Shut Up, a little book about meditation from a practical, simplified perspective. Also in 2018 I released What Love Is & in 2017, The Greater Possibilities. Both of these are what I call "books for people who don't read self-help books." Both are written & designed as gift books; I hope you might like them enough to want to share with family & friends. ------------------------ BIOGRAPHY: Thom Rutledge has over thirty-five years experience as a psychotherapist. Thom's trademark sense of humor, a down-to-earth practicality, and his own compassion are the common threads that run throughout his unique brand of self-help psychology.

In addition to his private therapy practice in Nashville, Tennessee, Thom is internationally known for his personal growth workshops and professional training seminars.

After self-publishing a second book, If I Were They, he wrote 2 books, The Self-Forgiveness Handbook and Earning Your Own Respect, and an audio workbook, Practice Makes Practice, for New Harbinger Publications in Oakland, California.
