Product Description
Review
His overall thesis that we are motivated by love, the inherent irony of existence - that as loving beings we are inevitably thwarted, and how we manage that - and how art and therapy can help us think about them, process them, inform us and occasionally heal us finds a way of saying what I have felt, in a much more incoherent way, for a long time. --Julia Samuel Metanoia Institute Tutor, Honorary Fellow of Imperial College
This time he takes on the Wise, insightful, compassionate observations that teach us that we find love not in ourselves but in that which we are devoted to. Brazier has created a thought-provoking paradigm in which love, art, spirituality and psychotherapy attempt to dance together to the symphony of life's meaning, conducted passionately within the corridor of the human heart. --Gregg Krech, Buddhist, author of Naikan: Gratitude, Grace and the Japanese Art of Self-reflection; and of other books on Naikan and Constructive Living
This book outlines a really useful new position on centrally important points in psychology --Mary Midgely, philosopher and author of 'Wickedness'

Product Description
What is life about? Love. Does love run smoothly? No. To whom does this matter? Everybody. Simply facts with enormous implications. In "Love and Its disappointment", which is rooted in common knowledge, David Brazier advances in clear and specific terms a radical and practical theory of human functioning, exploring the relationships between beauty and love, frustration and creativity, perception and healing. Essential reading for psychotherapists, this book is also full of insights for the critic of culture and society.
