"Desde el diván del psicoanalista: ¿cómo encontramos y conservamos el amor? «Stephen Grosz es un maravilloso escritor, un pensador claro y convincente, un ser humano observador, sabio y profundamente empático». Nick Hornby «Amar de verdad es un trabajo: eso es algo que no te cuentan en los cuentos de hadas o en los reality shows. Pero Stephen Grosz sabe mucho sobre el dolor y la alegría de las relaciones humanas y en este libro comparte generosamente su sabiduría con el resto de nosotros». Zadie Smith Basándose en más de cuarenta años de conversaciones sinceras y sorprendentes con sus pacientes, el célebre psicoanalista Stephen Grosz se pregunta: ¿qué nos impide enamorarnos? ¿Y qué debemos hacer para permanecer enamorados? En estas breves pero impactantes historias reales, el autor nos adentra en la vida de personas que no logran conectar plenamente con sus parejas, cónyuges, padres o amigos. Con paciencia y empatía, Grosz ayuda a cada paciente a trazar un mapa de su mundo interior para descubrir los miedos y deseos inconscientes que sabotean sus relaciones. Un hombre cuida obsesivamente a todo aquel que le rodea, con la esperanza de evitar que lo abandonen; otro se retrae del mundo, incapaz de vivir plenamente hasta que logra afrontar un trágico romance; el adulterio y la traición separan a dos matrimonios amigos, pero el amor persiste entre ellos de manera sorprendente. Cada uno trabaja con Grosz para descifrar el lenguaje de su corazón y aprende a entregarse a la difícil realidad de conectar verdaderamente con otra persona. Más que simples historias clínicas, estos encuentros de sufrimiento cotidiano -y tremendo alivio-, hábilmente representados, son breves testimonios reales, marcados por la profunda comprensión de Grosz de la condición humana y de los obstáculos que enfrentan en el camino hacia la verdadera conexión. La crítica ha dicho: «Una comprimida y brillante destilación de cuarenta años de experiencia clínica y pensamiento profundo, escrita para durar. Grosz transmite lo que sabe, en toda su riqueza, de la forma más concisa y digerible posible». Financial Times «Escalofriante, conmovedor, inolvidable... qué privilegio es para el lector echar un vistazo a este proceso». The Guardian «Una profunda meditación sobre el amor y la sanación. Poderoso e importante. Una lectura esencial». Tara Westover «Una combinación de Chéjov y Oliver Sacks». Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times (Sobre la mujer que no quería amar) «Cristalino y absolutamente mágico». Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday (Sobre la mujer que no quería amar)"

Love’s Labour: The #1 Sunday Times bestselling author examines love and relationships
"Brought to you by Penguin. Compelling new stories from the psychoanalyst's consulting room; on desire, heartbreak and learning how to love. When it comes to love why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on over forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, Stephen Grosz asks, what gets in the way of our falling in love? And what must we do to stay there? In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can’t post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can’t decide whether to get divorced; the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins; and the man whose partner’s death is almost too much to bear. As an analyst, Grosz’s unerring ability is to locate what ails the heartsick. As a writer, he elegantly shows how we can deploy the agonies of love as tools for understanding. The labour of love is the work of a lifetime but in finally learning to see ourselves and our world clearly, we find we are truly ready to love one another. ‘Illuminating, beautiful . . . This is a special book, full of little epiphanies’ Natasha Lunn, author of Conversations on Love 'This is a beautiful book' Nigella Lawson 'You will be better at love after you read this book’ Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon © Stephen Grosz 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves
"**SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER** This book is about learning to live. Echoing Socrates' statement that the unexamined life not worth living, psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz draws on his twenty-five years of work and more than 50,000 hours of conversations to form a collection of beautifully rendered tales that illuminate the human experience. These are stories about everyday lives: from a woman who finds herself daydreaming as she returns home from a business trip to a young man loses his wallet, to the more extreme examples: the patient who points an unloaded gun at a police officer and the compulsive liar who convinces his wife he's dying of cancer. The resulting journey will spark new ideas about who we are and why we do what we do. 'A captivating journey... These are universal themes, insights into an emotional world we inhabit, often with equal difficulty. A wonderful book' Sunday Times 'This moving book will make the reader think of Freud's keenly observed and literary-minded case studies...piercing chapters that read like a combination of Chekhov and Oliver Sacks' New York Times 'Grosz is a superb storyteller and tells lots of his patients' stories with sensitivity, but also with great acuity. You might keep thinking you recognise things about people you know' Evening Standard ©2013 Stephen Grosz (P)2023 Penguin Audio"
