The Examined Life Reviews

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
