Adam Philips..you're a Genius..!!

[@garymorgan3314]

Yes, he's brilliant. Kind too, did a lot of great work at Charing Cross Hospital in London, now these marvellous books, always avoiding showiness and conceit; not remotely condescending.

"If people would laugh at this joke that I love, I've made a world that I want to live in." ~Adam Phillips
That's great! Can I quote you on that?

[@trixefirehorse]

I'm not sure Mr. Miller has the chops to handle this conversation. Adam Phillips is an immensely original thinker. the disparity is quite painful & makes it hard to listen to .

Philips, speak INTO the mike.

[@Quinefan]

No, for a number of reasons, but one thing is, speaking directly into a microphone creates unwanted sounds such as 'pops', because of the air stream directly hitting the mic.
