The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves

A Sunday Times bestseller Longlisted for the Guardian first book award A Radio 4 Book of the Week This book is about learning to live. In simple stories of encounter 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. These are stories about our everyday lives: they are about the people we love and the lies that we tell; the changes we bear, and the grief. Ultimately, they show us not only how we lose ourselves but how we might find ourselves too.

Ifølge Stephen Grosz er vi er alle historiefortællere, i eget og andres liv – vi skaber historier for at skabe mening med vores tilværelse. Men det er ikke tilstrækkeligt at fortælle. Der skal også være nogen, der lytter. I sit arbejde som praktiserende psykoanalytiker har Stephen Grosz brugt de sidste 25 år på at afdække de skjulte følelser bag vores mest uforklarlige handlinger. "Det granskede liv. Om hvordan vi mister og finder os selv" destillerer over 50.000 timers samtale til ren psykologisk indsigt, men uden fagjargon.

Det granskede liv

‘I want to change, but not if it means changing,' a patient once said to me in complete innocence What do we do when we find ourselves trapped by our own thoughts or behaviour? Drawing on his twenty-five years’ experience as a psychoanalyst, Stephen Grosz ushers the reader through the door of his consulting room and into the minds of his patients.

For Stephen Grosz er vi alle historiefortellere, i eget og andres liv. Dette er et fundamentalt trekk ved det å være menneske - å fortelle, samtale, lytte og forstå. Men av og til går ikke historiene våre opp, de bryter sammen eller slutter å gi mening. Livet tar en dramatisk vending, kjærligheten tar slutt, en livsløgn tar overhånd, praktiske livsforhold blir uoverstigelige, sorg er ikke til å bære. For Grosz er alle disse situasjonene muligheter til å miste seg selv, men vel så viktig er det også et utgangspunkt for å finne seg selv. Fortellinger fra livet er en 50 000 timer lang samtale destillert ned til 200 sider lettfattelig og formidlende prosa. Fri for fagsjargong leverer Grosz et sammenhengende og inkluderende konsentrat av livshistorier det er lett å kjenne seg igjen i, og som man sitter igjen litt klokere etter å ha lest.

This is a two-part commentary on the Act which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK domestic law. The first part of the book examines the ECHR in context and the situation in the UK prior to incorporation, and a brief historical overview is given. The second part examines in detail each section of the new law in annotated statute style, assessing its likely importance on UK law.

La mujer que no quera amar / The Examined Life

Výnimočná kniha pre každého, kto dychtí po porozumení skrytých motívov, ktoré utvárajú náš život. Všetci sme rozprávači príbehov – vytvárame príbehy, ktoré dávajú nášmu životu zmysel. Nestačí však príbeh iba rozpovedať. Musí tu byť niekto, kto si ho vypočuje. Vo svojej práci praktizujúci psychoanalytik Stephen Grosz strávil posledných dvadsaťpäť rokov odhaľovaním skrytých pocitov, ktoré stoja za naším najviac nepochopiteľným správaním. Skúška životom je o úplne bežnom procese: rozprávaní, počúvaní a porozumení. Jej elegantné príbehy nás učia novému druhu pozornosti. Taktiež odkrývajú chúlostivý obraz práce analytika a poukazujú na to, ako môžu hodiny strávené v konzultačnej miestnosti odhaliť mnohé tak o analytikovi ako aj o pacientovi. Ide o príbehy z nášho každodenného života: sú o ľuďoch, ktorých milujeme a ktorým klameme do očí, o zmenách, ktoré podstupujeme, a aj o smútku. V konečnom dôsledku nám nepoukazujú iba na to, ako sa v živote môžeme stratiť, ale aj ako je možné nájsť samých seba. Vďaka poučným a dojímavým zvratom nám Grosz ponúka rafinovaný pohľad na zložitosť každodenného života. (Financial Times)
