Both a practicing psychoanalyst and a professor of literature, Josh Cohen has long been taken with the mutual echoes between the life struggles of the consulting room and the dramas of the novel. So what might the most memorable characters in literature tell us about how to live meaningfully?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow to Live. What to Do\u003c\/i\u003e, Cohen plots a course through the various stages of our lives, discovering in each the surprising and profound insights literature has to offer. Beginning with the playful mindset of \u003ci\u003eWonderland\u003c\/i\u003e's Alice, we discover the resilience of Jane Eyre, the rebellious rage of Baldwin's Johnny Grimes and the catastrophic ambitions of Jay Gatsby, the turbulence of first love for Sally Rooney's Frances, the sorrows of marriage for \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e's Dorothea Brooke, and the regrets and comforts of middle age for Rabbit Angstrom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJosh Cohen is Professor of Modern Literary Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London and a psychoanalyst in private practice.
