The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves by Stephen Grosz
5.0
It was a joy to read and affected me in ways I did not know it would. It gave me a greater understanding that the way people act or do not act and speak or do not speak is sometimes not as you may have perceived and brings me back to sonder. I believe that this word embodies this book. It is the feeling of viewing other people and acknowledging that they have their own unique stories.
The book was very intriguing as a touched upon the mind and how much or how little we may know about our own thoughts and feelings and what they represent.
I would highly recommend for any who are even slightly interested. It is made up of various stories about his many patients during the authors psychoanalysis sessions, which made it easy to read and digest.
I read this as a digital copy and would consider purchasing a physical version to read again at a later stage.
