2. A World Of Fragile Things
Psychoanalysis and the Art of Living
A reflective blend of psychoanalytic theory, cultural criticism, and personal meditation that examines how human lives are shaped by vulnerability, loss, and the precariousness of relationships; through readings of literature, film, and psychoanalytic cases the book argues that recognizing and attending to our fragility—in desire, grief, and dependency—opens ethical possibilities for care, relational repair, and a more honest way of living. It offers close analyses of mourning, failure, and longing to show how embracing vulnerability can generate new forms of sympathy and resilience rather than weakness, proposing a compassionate approach to selfhood and social life rooted in interdependence and attention to the small, fragile things that matter.
