Confessions
This dialogic book will guide you through the most honest self-examination ever written. You will confront the gap between who you are and who you want to become, trace the roots of desire and habit, and discover why the search for meaning circles back to what you already carry within.
Therapy, self-help, memoir: our culture is obsessed with self-understanding, yet rarely goes deep enough. Augustine wrote his Confessions in 397, inventing introspective autobiography. His questions about desire, willpower, memory, and the passage of time anticipated modern psychology by fifteen centuries. Reading him is like finding the blueprint behind every honest conversation you have ever had with yourself.
