Every day, we are told that balance is a good thing. We are
supposed to make balanced judgments, balance our budget, and
preserve a balance of power in our government. Disturbed people are
described as unbalanced. In this insightful, charming book, the
philosopher and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips looks afresh at balance
(and its shadow, excess) and asks if achieving the former is such
an admirable goal. From this perspective, Phillips examines the
explosive topics of money, sex, parenthood, faith, and education.
In his exhilarating and casually brilliant explorations of case
studies, fairy tales, works of art, and literature, the paradoxes
inherent in our appetites and fears are revealed.
