Review: The Examined Life, How We Lose and Find Ourselves, by Stephen Grosz



This book was a reread...
Each chapter is approximately two pages of different patient's unique problems, and the patient-therapist relationship/progression through therapy. Very well written, easy to read and understand for the lay person - worth reading over and over again.

The subjects are based on real life accounts by this psychoanalyst. The challenges we all face and get through, in one way or another, is examined with a great deal of wisdom in this small book. Psychoanalysis is a process...self examining, and eye opening. This particular sentence struck to the heart. "The future is a fantasy that shapes our present."
