Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Attention Seeking, by Adam Phillips.

'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.

Very interesting

This is an interesting book about psychoanalysis and its use of attention or the lack of it.
