Krátky popis
From acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, a meditation on what we
must give up to feel more alive. To give up or not to give up?The
question can feel inescapable but the answer is never simple.
Giving up our supposed vices is one thing, giving up on life itself
is quite another.One form of self-sacrifice feels positive,
something to admire and aspire to, while the other is profoundly
unsettling, if not actively undesirable. There are always, it turns
out, both good and bad sacrifices, but it is not always clear
beforehand which is which. We give something up because we believe
we can no longer go on as we are.In this sense, giving up is a
critical moment - an attempt to make a different future. In On
Giving Up, acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips illuminates both
the gaps and the connections between the many ways of giving up,
and helps us to address the central question: what must we give up
in order to feel more alive?'One of the finest prose stylists in
the language, an Emerson of our time' John Banville'The best living
essayist writing in English' John Gray
