Review:
“Shares the best literary qualities of Freud’s most persuasive work. It is...an insightful and beautifully written book...a series of slim, piercing chapters that read like a combination of Chekhov and Oliver Sacks. [A] deeply affecting book.”
- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
“Magnetically compelling...The result is a shared sense of humanity, understanding and even hope.”
- Kate Tuttle, Boston Globe
“Beautifully written...The insights here will cut close to the bone.”
- Dinah Loon, Nature
“A peek into the human psyche...Marked by a clear absence of technical jargon...An immensely personal work, and something much more than just a legacy of advice.”
- Lucy Scholes, Daily Beast
“Grosz’s vignettes are so brilliantly put together that they read like pieces of bare, illuminating fiction...utterly captivating.”
- Robert Collins, Sunday Times
“By turns edifying and moving. Grosz offers astute insights into the perplexities of everyday life.”
- Trisha Andres, Financial Times
“Impossible to put down...it will leave you wiser about humanity than you were when you picked it up.”
- Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree
- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
