Vincent Deary is a practitioner health psychologist who helps people cope with whatever life has thrown at them. In ‘How We Break’, he examines, with great empathy, what happens to our minds and bodies when we are pushed to, and beyond, our limits. Drawing on clinical case studies, cutting edge scientific research, intimate personal stories and references from philosophy, literature and film, this book offers us a map through the challenging terrain of everyday human suffering.
