Longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, a Sunday Times bestseller and Radio 4 Book of the Week, our January non-fiction choice is a set of short stories with a difference: The Examined Life by psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz is based on real-life sessions with his patients. Wonderfully Jargon-free, there are chapters covering a broad range of topics including why we lie, what we fear and how we change.
If you're interested to read and come back and discuss, apply for a free copy. We're also giving you the chance to post a question to Stephen Grosz.
