Description
A Life of One's Own by Marion Milner is an extraordinary account of a seven-year inward journey to discover what brings happiness. Through her personal diaries, Milner analyses everyday moments that can bring surprising joy and explores the struggle between order and control in thought. As she searches for clues, the reader becomes involved in the chase, following Milner's insights into the power of simple pleasures like walking and listening to music. This pioneering work anticipates the contemporary phenomenon of mindfulness, offering a fresh perspective on thinking and living that remains relevant today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a revised Introduction by Rachel Bowlby, providing new context for this timeless exploration of human experience.
