Autor Adam Phillipsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2011
What can childhood teach us about bad behaviour?
And should we be happy, or is there something better we might be?
InOn Balance, acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips explores a variety of urgent concerns related to how we attempt to manage our conflicting desires, needs and motives.

in
English
Phillips is a wonderful writer, his prose limpid and exact, and this is a deep and stimulating book
Intriguing and radical questions about the vital information strong responses and desires provide, and how we might use this to identify what we want
His writing is a lively source of provocation, repetition, self-renewal.
Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled. But the one thing you will never be is bored
He's brilliant
Phillips radiates infectious charm

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Every day, we are told that balance is a good thing. We are supposed to make balanced judgments, balance our budget, and preserve a balance of power in our government. Disturbed people are described as unbalanced. In this insightful, charming book, the philosopher and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips looks afresh at balance (and its shadow, excess) and asks if achieving the former is such an admirable goal. From this perspective, Phillips examines the explosive topics of money, sex, parenthood, faith, and education. In his exhilarating and casually brilliant explorations of case studies, fairy tales, works of art, and literature, the paradoxes inherent in our appetites and fears are revealed.
