Night Vision: Seeing Ourselves Through Dark Moods

A philosophical exploration of how painful emotions can reveal truths about what it means to be truly human, this book invites readers to consider a different approach to life. Mariana Alessandri draws on the stories of diverse thinkers to help us see that our suffering is a sign not that we are broken but that we are tender, perceptive, and intelligent.

By embracing the dark, we can discover new sides to our painful moods, such as wit and humor, closeness and warmth, and connection and clarity. Night Vision shows how this approach can help us see ourselves - and our emotions - in a new light, and begin to live with greater dignity and honor.
