Living Our Times Summary

Living Our Times by Marie Murray

We live in times that change rapidly. We live our lives moment by moment, event by event, day by day. We are assailed by a kaleidoscope of information and a torrent of opinion. We try to make sense of it all. Where do we stand? What do we think? With the skilled observation of the psychologist and the gifted expressions of the born writer, Marie Murray explores aspects of living that affect us all. She writes of emotions and behaviours, ethical and social issues, families and relationshops, and many other themes both whimsical and profound.
