Adam Phillips Going Sane
Harper Perennial 2007 0007155360 / 9780007155361 Paperback Like New
"clean, tight, unmarked,() Being sane has long been defined simply as that bland and nebulous state of not being mentally ill. While writings on madness fill entire libraries, until now no one has thought to engage exclusively with the idea of sanity. In a society governed by indulgence and excess, madness is the state of mind we identify with most keenly. Though ultimately destructive, it is often credited as the wellspring of genius, individuality, and self-expression. Sanity, on the other hand, confounds us. One of the world's most respected psychoanalysts and original thinkers, Adam Phillips redresses this historical imbalance. He strips our lives back to essentials, focusing on how we—as human beings, parents, lovers, as people to whom work matters—can make space for a sane and well-balanced attitude to living. In a world saturated by tales of dysfunction and suffering, he offers a way forward that is as down-to-earth and realistic as it is uplifting and hopeful. ID: mon0000116999"

Adam Phillips Going Sane: Maps of Happiness
Fourth Estate 2005 0007155395 / 9780007155392 Hardcover Like New
"Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New (Near Fine), clean, tight, Dust Jacket Like New (Near Fine) Remainder mark,() Writings on madness fill entire libraries, but until now nobody has thought to engage exclusively with the idea of sanity: we define it simply as that bland and nebulous state of not being mentally ill. But what is sanity? How broad, how eccentric is its range of behavior? And how do we go about crafting a creative and fluid definition of a sane existence, one we can guide ourselves by? Madness is always present in our lives -- in the chaos of our experience as babies, the rebellion of our adolescence, the irrational nature of our sexual appetites. In a society governed by indulgence and excess, madness is the state of mind we identify with most keenly -- while it is ultimately destructive, we often credit it as the wellspring of genius, individuality, and self-expression. Sanity, on the other hand, confounds us: it lacks the false allure of madness. Hamlet, as Adam ID: mon0000060330"
