Book Description
Volumes have been dedicated to madness, but sanity is rarely mentioned. We can define the mad, but how do we classify the sane? In Going Sane, psychoanalyst and writer Adam Phillips delves deep into history, philosophy, literature and his own experiences to address questions that we rarely ask about ourselves, taking us on an engrossing journey in which we learn many things - including some of what it takes to be happy in the modern world.
Editorial Review
"Adam Phillips has written an extraordinarily generous and subtle book...beautiful, unfussily important and emotionally brilliant." -- Jorie Graham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Dream of the Unified Field "Beautifully written…clever and funny, and properly profound…A lovely addition to Phillips’ guides to living a happier life." -- GQ "Challenging and inspiring …Going Sane is an indispensable guide to what wisdom means today." -- John Gray, professor of political thought at the London School of Economics
