The Act of Living

This thought-provoking audiobook explores how advances in science, technology, and liberal democracy have transformed our lives, yet many people still struggle with feelings of unhappiness and discontent. It examines how psychotherapy, developed over the past century by influential figures like Freud, Jung, and Laing, offers meaningful insights into the fundamental questions of identity, purpose, and living well. Frank Tallis presents psychotherapy as a cohesive intellectual tradition with valuable, often overlooked relevance to understanding ourselves in a modern, complex world.
