Categories: Self-Help
The Examined Life is a collection of short, true stories from psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz's decades of clinical practice. Each chapter describes a patient, from a man who lied compulsively to a woman unable to accept praise, and what their sessions revealed. Grosz writes plainly about love, loss, change and the stories we tell ourselves, showing how understanding our own feelings can help us live more freely.
