From the author of Missing Out and On Kindness, Britain''s pre-eminent psychoanalyst explores our relationship with balance.
''Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored'' Observer
In this absorbing and provocative new book from one of Britain''s most elegant and original prose stylists, psychoanalyst Adam Phillips addresses a variety of urgent concerns - many centred around the idea of balance.
When might we know that enough is enough? Does the road of excess ever lead to the palace of wisdom? What is the role of the parent, the teacher and of psychoanalysis itself in the development of children''s minds? Should we be happy, or is there something better we can be? And what can we learn from the tales of Jack and the Beanstalk or Cinderella?
With his trademark combination of open-minded enquiry and exhilarating argument, drawing primarily on the twin worlds of literature and psychoanalysis, Adam Phillips will delight readers old and new in this much anticipated new book.
