My Mark:

Some brilliant stories about therapy can help people and the limit we all have.

The Pitch:

An extraordinary book for anyone eager to understand the hidden motives that shape our lives.

We are all storytellers―we create stories to make sense of our lives. A moving collection of short, personal encounters between a psychoanalyst and his patients, The Examined Life reveals how the art of insight can illuminate the most complicated, confounding, and human of experiences.

Ultimately, these stories show us not only how we love ourselves but how we might find ourselves.
