In The Pleasure of Thinking, Theodore Dalrymple embarks on an entertaining intellectual journey. With his characteristic wit, Dalrymple navigates the quirky realms of literature, biography, philosophy, science, and history, highlighting the satisfaction that comes with reflecting on life's questions. This book is for anyone who delights in the intricacies of the human mind and seeks to understand the world in all its complexity. Often through personal anecdotes from his time as a prison doctor and psychiatrist, his essays illuminate the myriad corners of the human mind seen through his inimitable, thought-provoking observations and celebrate thought and the paradox of reflection.
Theodore Dalrymple spent the first part of his career as doctor in deprived parts of Africa and South America. When he returned to England he joined the Prison Service as a GP and psychiatrist in London’s East End and later inner-city Birmingham. He is a regular contributor to, among others, The Times, the Daily Mail, Telegraph, Spectator, British Medical Journal, the Australian and he has a column in The Oldie and City Journal.
