Neurosis and Human Growth: The Struggle Towards Self-Realization by Karen Horney

4.0

Never has a book so thoroughly convinced me that I should be living in my car in some town in Mexico, looking to get shot by the cartel.

Early in the work Horney classifies three distinct ways Neurotic behavior tends to manifest in people, and that they each can tend to appear to a degree in a single neurotic, and then she describes the different modes of being that I feel I've ever possessed. It was disheartening, and I wrestled with this book intellectually, spiritually and personally. I had to stop and let it go at times.
