The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves Description
Review
“The Examined Life…. shares the best literary qualities of Freud’s most persuasive work. It is… an insightful and beautifully written book… a series of slim, piercing chapters that read like a combination of Chekhov and Oliver Sacks. [A] deeply affecting book.” (Michiko Kakutani - New York Times)
“Impossible to put down… it will leave you wiser about humanity than you were when you picked it up.” (Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree)
“By turns edifying and moving. Grosz offers astute insights into the perplexities of everyday life.” (Trisha Andres - Financial Times)
“Grosz’s vignettes are so brilliantly put together that they read like pieces of bare, illuminating fiction… utterly captivating.” (Robert Collins - Sunday Times)
“Engaging, frank,and with many penetrating insights. His short, succinct chapters have both the tension and the satisfaction of miniature detective or mystery stories.” (Michael Holroyd - The Spectator)
“Marvellous. After reading [Grosz's] absorbing accounts of his patients' journeys you might feel that The Examined Life ought to be given out free at birth.” (Melissa Katsoulis - The Times (UK))
