In Praise of Risk
Anne Dufourmantelle, Steven MillerThis book, whose original French edition achieved worldwide attention when its author died trying to save two children caught in a riptide, challenges the psychic work the modern world devotes to avoiding risk. Weaving psychoanalytic case studies together with philosophical reflections, Dufourmantelle shows how risk is an essential property of life, one that requires our embrace.
The French edition of this book achieved worldwide attention (and reached #9 on the Amazon.fr bestseller charts) when the author, true to her book, died while trying to rescue two children caught in a rip-tide.
