A short, fascinating introduction to the concept of attention from
Britain's leading psychoanalyst, author of Missing Out and On
Kindness. What we find of interest may tell us more than we
think... 'Everything depends on what, if anything, we find
interesting: on what we are encouraged and educated to find
interesting, and what we find ourselves being interested in despite
ourselves. There is our official curiosity and our unofficial
curiosity (and psychoanalysis is a story about the relationship
between the two) . . .' Based on three connected talks on the
subject of attention, this pocket-sized book is a quirky and
memorable introduction to the concept of our attention - how we
spend it, and what it might tell us about ourselves. From Britain's
pre-eminent psychoanalyst, this is an essential new addition to the
Adam Phillips canon. 'The best living essayist writing in English'
