Beskrivning

In How to Be Real, psychosocial theorist Stephen Frosh tackles one of our most urgent questions: how can we thrive in a profoundly beleaguered world? Drawing on thinkers such as Freud, Winnicott, and Klein, Frosh argues that the uniquely contemporary and vernacular matter of 'realness' holds the key. This book is a bold and necessary guide to finding your radical self in difficult times.

Recensioner i media

With far-reaching expertise and crystal clarity, Stephen Frosh tackles what we all want to grasp, "how to be real", knowing that the messiness of life means we can never be fully sure of our own sense of authenticity. In these pages, Frosh addresses the necessary illusions that daily sustain us as we try to confront, or more often work to camouflage, our inevitably dependent, insecure and vulnerable lives. A crucial text for all of us.
