Selfie by Will Storr
How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's Doing to Us
In this thought-provoking exploration of the modern self, the author delves into the historical, cultural, and psychological forces that have shaped our obsession with individualism and self-esteem. Through a captivating narrative, the book examines how the Western world's focus on personal success and happiness has led to a society increasingly driven by narcissism and self-criticism. By weaving together insights from ancient philosophy, cutting-edge science, and personal anecdotes, the author challenges readers to reconsider the true nature of the self and the impact of societal pressures on our mental well-being.
