Compared to previous generations, we have unprecedented access to information, increased personal freedom, more material comforts, and more possessions. Yet, even before the shock of Covid-19, more people than ever before were reporting being depressed, anxious, or unfulfilled. As our material circumstances become easier, life seems to get harder.

They have endeavoured to alleviate distress and have offered help to people who want to make better life choices. Although the clinical provenance of psychotherapy is important, the legacy of psychotherapy has much wider relevance. It can offer original perspectives on the big questions usually entrusted to philosophers and representatives of faith: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compelling and important book, the principal contributions of the outstanding figures associated with the practice of psychotherapy are explained: from Freud to Ellis, Jung to Laing, Adler to Hayes. Viewed as a single, cohesive intellectual tradition, Frank Tallis argues that psychotherapeutic thinking is an immensely valuable and under-exploited resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000760942828,"sku":"9780349143392","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/697f9bb2cc2a2346dd0ded6d9358f5c3.jpg?v=1763323438"},{"product_id":"wise-by-frank-tallis-9780349146232","title":"Wise","description":"\u003cb\u003e'Transformative . . . gripping . . . sincerely recommended'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eGUARDIAN\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Frank Tallis is one of the most insightful psychologists of our time . . .\u003ci\u003e Wise\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone, young or old, in search of happiness' \u003c\/b\u003eJACK SYMES\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'This is a rich and beautiful book' \u003c\/b\u003eGWEN ADSHEAD, author of \u003ci\u003eTHE DEVIL YOU KNOW\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe are living longer and our lifespan after the middle years continues to extend due to medical advances.

There is a single essential task - integration - that once accomplished, equips us to cope with the many problems we are likely to encounter as we get older. What's more, their insights are supported by cutting-edge neuroscience. Exploring the common ground shared by the Stoics and the Existentialists, William James and CG Jung, Iain McGilchrist and Daniel Siegel, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis has written his own essential alternative to the standard self-help prescriptions.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrank Tallis takes on such questions as how we can embrace and accept our mortality when our brains are hard-wired to resist it, how we can achieve meaning in our lives, and how we can understand the passage of time and make the most of it. It's immensely readable whilst also intelligent and thought-provoking.","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363359834348,"sku":"9780349146232","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a452a84e0fbedd9e32667bf21d0bbca5.jpg?v=1772934884"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/frank-tallis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
