{"product_id":"9780241291771","title":"On Wanting to Change by Adam Phillips","description":"From the UK's foremost literary psychoanalyst, a dazzling new book on the universal urge to change our lives.   We live in a world in which we are invited to change - to become our best selves, through politics, or fitness, or diet, or therapy.   We change all the time - growing older and older - and how we think about change changes over time too.   We want to think of our lives as progress myths - as narratives of positive personal growth - at the same time as we inevitably age and suffer setbacks.   So there are the stories we tell about change, and there are the changes we actually make - and they don't always go, or come, together . . . This sparkling book is about that fact.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56228762878325,"sku":"9780241291771","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241291771.jpg?v=1762255816","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241291771","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
