Stephen Grosz and Andrew Solomon in Conversation with Cressida Connolly: The Examined Life and Far From the Tree at Lutyens and Rubinstein Bookshop

In his work as a practising psychoanalyst, Stephen Grosz has spent the last twenty-five years uncovering the hidden feelings behind our most baffling behaviour. A series of short vignettes, The Examined Life distils over 50,000 hours of conversation into pure psychological insight, without the jargon. Andrew Solomon’s international study of depression, The Noonday Demon won the 2001 National Book Award and was a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize. His new book Far from the Tree tells the stories of parents who learn to deal with their exceptional children and find profound meaning in doing so.
