THE EXAMINED LIFE PB – STEPHEN GROSZ

**SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER** This book is about learning to live. Echoing Socrates statement that the unexamined life not worth living, psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz draws on his twenty-five years of work and more than 50,000 hours of conversations to form a collection of beautifully rendered tales that illuminate the human experience. These are stories about everyday lives: from a woman who finds herself daydreaming as she returns home from a business trip to a young man loses his wallet, to the more extreme examples: the patient who points an unloaded gun at a police officer and the compulsive liar who convinces his wife he s dying of cancer. The resulting journey will spark new ideas about who we are and why we do what we do. A captivating journey… These are universal themes, insights into an emotional world we inhabit, often with equal difficulty. A wonderful book Sunday Times
