{"product_id":"child-man-ashok-malhotra-9780415589895","title":"Child Man: The Selfless Narcissist","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a part of us which neither listens to the voice of reason nor submit easily to social\/moral conventions. Like a child, it relentlessly pursues whatever catches its fancy and keeps playing with fire. It can either help us actualize our heroic potential or put us on the road to self-destruction. Perhaps the key to this difference lies in what we do with our emotional\/psychic wounds which are a necessary part of the growth process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the inner landscape of this part of our psyche through the mythological figures of Balarama, Duryodhana and Bhima. It also examines the present day context of human existence which has ironically enhanced both our prowess and helplessness and thereby pushed this part of ourselves into our psychic\/social underbelly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashok Malhotra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415589894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415589895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Ashok Malhotra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136102904063,"sku":"9780415589895","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6605a23d-ac5a-42c3-bb29-b399bfd76970.jpg?v=1770160529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/child-man-ashok-malhotra-9780415589895","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
