Learn moreFor most of us, the major questions of life continue to perplex: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live? In the late nineteenth century, a class of thinkers emerged who made solving these problems central to their work. They understood that human questions demand human answers and that, without understanding what it means to be human, there are no answers. Through the biographies and theories of luminaries ranging from Sigmund Freud to Erich Fromm, Frank Tallis shows us how to think about companionship and parenting, identity and aging, and much more. Accessible yet erudite, The Act of Living is essential listening for anyone seeking answers to life's biggest questions.
Frank Tallis is a clinical psychologist and the author of over fifteen books, including The Incurable Romantic. He previously taught clinical psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College, London. He lives in London and Bonnieux, France.
Simon Shepherd is an experienced narrator, actor, and voiceover artist who is best known for his role as Dr. Will Preston on Peak Practice. His film credits include Wuthering Heights and Henry V. Born in Bristol, he continuously supports several charities that benefit the well-being of children.
