Brett Kahr's Life Lessons from Freud is a good little book. It goes a long way to show the relevance of Freud's ideas to modern life. Kahr is a practicing psychotherapist, much influenced by Freud, and he explains in here some of the intriguing topics that Freud had brought to light: self-sabotage, desire, the functions of joke, and learning to take ourselves a little less seriously.
