How do we know when enough is enough? Are there times when too much is just right? Why is Cinderellas biggest problem not the prince but other women? What can Richard III's furious sense of his own helplessness tell us of our own desires? On Balance shows Phillips' bravura gift for linking disparate ideas and the dreamers that dreamed them into something beautiful, revelatory, and essential.Tan cloth with black spine lettering. xvi, 313pp. Solid copy. Dust jacket is not price-clipped. Full refund if not satisfied., Farrar Straus Giroux, 2010<

PROSA., 336 Seiten, Hardcoverband mit illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Umschlag mit geringen Gebrauchsspuren, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - 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.
