For most of us, the major questions of life continue to perplex: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? In the late 19th century, a class of thinkers emerged who made solving these problems central to their work. They understood that human questions demand human answers and that, without understanding what it means to be human, there are no answers. 

Through the biographies and theories of luminaries ranging from Sigmund Freud to Erich Fromm, Frank Tallis shows us how to think about companionship and parenting, identity and aging, and much more. Accessible yet erudite, The Act of Living is essential listening for anyone seeking answers to life's biggest questions.

What a wonderful book but it is much more than that. This narrative is an invitation by the author to examine the way you live and expand your repertoire. Excellent and totally recommend...

An Invitation

Tallis is brilliant and writes clearly and thoughtfully. I was thoroughly engaged. As psychologist with over 30 years of practice I was impressed by his integration of theory and art and clinical practice. He has made what could have been a very dry treatise a pleasure to read.

Smart rich integration of psychological thought
