Om denne bog
<p><b>'Wise, thoughtful and provocative ... An important book for our times' - Róisín Ingle</b><br><br><b>'Laura is an acute, intelligent and accurate observer and this book successfully combines psychology, philosophy and modern thinking in a fresh and vibrant way'</b> <b>- Brian O'Connell, journalist</b><br><br>"I have worn a lot of labels, by choice and otherwise. Here, I consider the ones I've picked up, rejected, lost, had stuck to my back like a 'kick me' poster in the schoolyard at lunch time, worn for a while and lost connection to. In its way, each one makes a discrete claim on who I am, as the labels you bear do for you. Each one is a means of translating who we are to the world and, when seen as the most important or truest element of who we are, shrinking and flattening us. Each one is part of our story, nothing more."<br>A thought-provoking exploration of identity, <i>Some of Our Parts</i> casts a philosophical eye over the labels that shape our lives, considering how they can both help us to communicate our values and how they have the potential to trap us. <br>A memoir explored through a life in labels inherited, accrued and cast off, <i>Some of Our Parts</i> considers the power in reclaiming our own story and challenges readers to question how we define ourselves in a world that is so ready to decide for us.</p>
