"Technologies of the self" as a book category gathers works that explore the techniques, practices, and knowledges by which people actively shape, govern, and transform their own bodies, minds, identities, and moral lives. Drawing on philosophy, critical theory (notably Foucault), psychology, religious and spiritual traditions, self-help, and biohacking, the books range from practical manuals and memoirs to historical and theoretical studies that examine routines, rituals, cognitive strategies, biomedical interventions, and ethical disciplines. They attend both to the individual methods people use—meditation, confession, exercise regimes, productivity systems, therapeutic practices—and to the cultural, institutional, and political contexts that prescribe, enable, or contest those methods, asking who benefits and what kinds of subjectivity are produced. The category therefore combines practical guidance with critical reflection on power, agency, and the moral stakes of self‑making.
