Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Marion Milner's sequel to "A Life of One's Own" and "An Experiment in Leisure" explores a way of keeping a diary. Recording or recalling "the small private moments that come nuzzling into my thoughts, asking for attention," she builds up a store of "bead memories". A carved duck, a sprig of asphodel, moments captured in her travels in Greece, Kashmir and Israel, circus clowns, a painting - each makes up a bead that has "a warmth or glow which comes in response to asking the simple question: what is the most important thing that happened yesterday?". These moments of heightened perception act as "bridges between different levels of psychic functioning: integrating thinking and feeling, reason and imagination". And from these beads - sacred, horrific, profane, funny - grows a sense of an "answering activity", the result of turning one's attention inwards to experience real joy. What Marion Milner conveys most vividly inspirationally to her reader, is her lifelong intention to live as completely as possible in the moment. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'This is what I really want. I want to discover ways to discriminate the important things in human life. I want to find ways of getting past this blind fumbling with existence.' - Marion Milner, from A Life of One's Own.How often do we really ask ourselves, 'What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?' In A Life of One's Own Marion Milner, a renowned British psychoanalyst, artist and autobiographer, takes us on an extraordinary and compelling seven-year inward journey to discover what it is that makes her happy.On its first publication, W. H. Auden found the book 'as exciting as a detective story' and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in the chase. Using her own personal diaries, she analyses moments of everyday life that can bring surprising joy, such as walking, listening to music, and drawing. She also records, in a disarmingly clear and insightful manner, the struggle between the urge to order and control one's thoughts and standing back to let them wander where they may.A pioneering account of lived experience that also anticipates the contemporary phenomenon of mindfulness, A Life of One's Own is a great adventure in thinking and living whose insights remain as fresh today as they were on the book's first publication in the 1930s.This Routledge Classics edition includes a revised Introduction by Rachel Bowlby.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'Before I began this experiment I had always been haunted by the feeling that the surface of life, what everyone said about it, was quite different from the reality of life, that the important things that were happening all the time were on the whole quite different from what was said about them.' - Marion MilnerWhat is it that stops people from knowing what they want? How much of our experience is shaped by images, symbols, and early memories - and do such things help or hinder one becoming an adult? Written in 1936, An Experiment in Leisure continues Marion Milner's unique and compelling investigation into how we lead our lives, complementing the account she began in A Life of One's Own.Attempting to understand the gap between what she memorably describes as 'the poverty of words and the reality of living', she draws on memory images - in books, mythology, religious experience, travel, and even going to the theatre - that seem to point to a suspension of ordinary, everyday awareness. From this state of emptiness springs an increasing imaginative appreciation of being alive and, as Milner concludes, of being a woman.With a new Foreword by Akshi Singh, An Experiment in Leisure remains a striking and captivating adventure in thinking and living with uncertainty, whose insights remain fresh and relevant today.
