Adam Phillips is a favorite author of mine, a wonderful essayist and prose stylist. His writing expresses clarity in the face of obscurity, precision in confronting ambiguity and complexity. If you have any interest in Freud and psychoanalysis generally, or if you wonder about patterns and tendencies, both in yourself and in the culture, which you intimate but can't quite pinpoint or articulate, then I definitely recommend his work. "Side Effects" is very good, but I think his best may be "On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored" - a truly beautiful book.
