Freud: Great Thinkers on Modern Life (The School of Life) - Softcover

There is a good deal to be learned from these little primers.

The School of Life offers radical ways to help us raid the treasure trove of human knowledge.

Thoroughly welcoming and approachable. If the six books in The School of Life can teach even a few readers to pay passionate heed to the world--to notice things--they will have been an unquestionable success.--John Banville

Here you will find insights from his greatest works.The School of Life series takes a great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary, everyday dilemmas. These books emphasize ways in which wise voices from the past have urgently important and inspiring things to tell us.
