It’s hard to find a balance these days, in our society obsessed with material luxury, consumption and competition. In this highly anticipated series of absorbing, provocative essays, psychoanalyst Adam Phillips takes a look at our concerns surrounding the idea of balance. He considers whether the road of excess can lead to the palace of wisdom; wonders how we can ever know when enough is enough; asks if we can attain something better than happiness; and much more.
