Self And Soul by Mark Edmundson
A Defense of Ideals
A spirited defense of traditional moral and aesthetic ideals in modern life, arguing that contemporary culture’s therapeutic, consumerist, and careerist impulses have hollowed out the inner life; it urges a recovery of courage, reverence, humility, and the formative power of literature, education, and spiritual practice to cultivate a richer sense of self and soul, reclaiming public and private life from narcissism through disciplined reading, solitude, and a renewed commitment to virtue.
