Description

From the UK's foremost literary psychoanalyst, a dazzling new book on the universal urge to change our lives.We live in a world in which we are invited to change - to become our best selves, through politics, or fitness, or diet, or therapy.We change all the time - growing older and older - and how we think about change changes over time too.We want to think of our lives as progress myths - as narratives of positive personal growth - at the same time as we inevitably age and suffer setbacks.So there are the stories we tell about change, and there are the changes we actually make - and they don't always go, or come, together . . .This sparkling book is about that fact.
