STEPHEN GROSZ - GEBRAUCHT THE EXAMINED LIFE HOW...

**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**    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    'Stephen Grosz   an
analyst with more than 40 years in practice  is one of the best at writing about
[psychoanalysis]' The Times
