What makes Philip's book different, and a cut above the average, is not that it is based upon his personal experience, or even that he suggests that "we find out who we are by being who we really aren't," but that he provides practical exercises - he shows readers how to apply the insights and techniques that have proved helpful to him and others in their efforts to reclaim their freedom. Philip does this with an astute sense of humour, wisdom and encouragement.

The decisive role that emotions, feelings and passions play in these processes cannot be ignored - not even by those who believe that emotions have no legitimate place in the public sphere.

A growing body of...
