Self-Improvement

This book shows how self-improvement culture became so toxic—and why we need both a new concept of the self and a mission of social change in order to escape it. Mark Coeckelbergh delves into the history of the ideas that shaped this culture, critically analyzes the role of technology, and explores surprising paths out of the self-improvement trap.

Aceasta carte arata cum cultura de auto-imbunatatire a devenit atat de toxica - si de ce avem nevoie atat de un nou concept de sine, cat si de o misiune de schimbare sociala pentru a scapa de ea. Mark Coeckelbergh se adanceste in istoria ideilor care au modelat aceasta cultura, analizeaza critic rolul tehnologiei si exploreaza cai surprinzatoare din capcana auto-imbunatatirii.
