{"product_id":"the-examined-life-how-we-lose-and-find-ourselves","title":"The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves","description":"A New York Times \"10 Favorite Books of 2013\"\n\nAn extraordinary book for anyone eager to understand the hidden motives that shape our lives. We are all storytellers―we create stories to make sense of our lives. But it is not enough to tell tales. There must be someone to listen.\nIn his work as a practicing psychoanalyst, Stephen Grosz has spent the last twenty-five years uncovering the hidden feelings behind our most baffling behavior. The Examined Life distils more than 50,000 hours of conversation into pure psychological insight without the jargon.\nThis extraordinary book is about one ordinary process: talking, listening, and understanding. Its aphoristic and elegant stories teach us a new kind of attentiveness. They also unveil a delicate self-portrait of the analyst at work and show how lessons learned in the consulting room can reveal as much to the analyst as to the patient.\nThese are stories about our everyday lives: they are about the people we love and the lies we tell, the changes we bear and the grief. Ultimately, they show us not only how we lose ourselves but also how we might find ourselves.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393079546\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393079546.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Grosz, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
