''This is a really beautiful book...It''s a genuinely therapeutic read - it takes your particular sorrows and by sharing them seems to halve them'' Nick Laird
''By the end of this wonderful book, we have learned to read its title not as a prescription but as a set of questionsNeither novels nor psychoanalysis promise to finally answer those questions. Instead, they invite us to look and listen - and to live in a way that lets us keep asking'' TLS
From the truths and lies we tell about ourselves to the resonant creations of fiction, stories give shape and meaning to all our livesBoth a practicing psychoanalyst and a professor of literature, Josh Cohen has long been taken with the mutual echoes between the life struggles of the consulting room and the dramas of the novel. So what might the most memorable characters in literature tell us about how to live meaningfully?
In How to LiveWhat to Do, Cohen plots a course through the various stages of our lives, discovering in each the surprising and profound insights literature has to offer. Beginning with the playful mindset of Wonderland''s Alice, we discover the resilience of Jane Eyre, the rebellious rage of Baldwin''s Johnny Grimes and the catastrophic ambitions of Jay Gatsby, the turbulence of first love for Sally Rooney''s Frances, the sorrows of marriage for Middlemarch''s Dorothea Brooke, and the regrets and comforts of middle age for Rabbit Angstrom.
