ursulamonarch 's review for:

Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us by Rachel Aviv

---

This is such a fascinating topic, and I generally find the author's writing really interesting. However, I found a couple of the chapters (Ray and Bapu) extremely boring to read, even though I think they are interesting cases. It's understandable that these are all complex cases and people, but the writing wandered too much for me. I had really high expectations for this book, given its reception last year, and they weren't met.
