The Examined Life by Stephen Grosz
Reveals how the art of insight can illuminate the most complicated, confounding and human of experiences. This title includes stories about our everyday lives: they are about the people we love and the lies that we tell; the changes we bear, and the grief.
I was enthralled… profound and moving, packed large ideas into a slim volume -- Lucy Lethbridge * Observer Books of the Year *
With deceptive simplicity and gentle wisdom, Grosz teases out a lesson or chases down a fugitive insightI have distrusted psychoanalysis for years, but I would leap onto Grosz’s couch -- James McConnachie * The Sunday Times Books of the Year *
This moving book of patient portraits by the psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz will make the reader think of Freud’s keenly observed and literary-minded case studies. Writing with sympathy and insight, Mr Grosz distils 25 years of work into a series of slim, piercing chapters that read like a combination of Chekhov and Oliver Sacks -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *
The success of The Examined Life by the psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz has, I think, relatively little to do with his clinical know-how; it rests, as Freud's did, on his story-telling abilities -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *
Grosz is a superb storyteller and tells lots of his patients' stories with sensitivity, but also with great acuity. You might keep thinking you recognise things about people you know -- William Leith * Evening Standard *
