What are you reading?
The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves by Stephen Grosz (an e-book published by Vintage).
In a nutshell?
It's a collection of cases spanning the psychoanalyst's 25 years in practice, in which each case is a shutter-release on what behaviour brought the person onto the analyst's couch.
Why read it?
It's like therapeutic haute cuisine.
Joubert is the author of 'The Hungry Season: Feeding Southern Africa's Cities', Pan MacMillan, at Exclusive Books, R257
