“An intriguing odyssey” though the history of the self and the rise of narcissism (The New York Times). Self-absorption, perfectionism, personal branding—it wasn’t always like this, but it’s always been a part of us. Why is the urge to look at ourselves so powerful? Is there any way to break its spell—especially since it doesn’t necessarily make us better or happier people? Full of unexpected connections among history, psychology, economics, neuroscience, and more, Selfie is a “terrific” book that makes sense of who we have become (NPR’s On Point). Award-winning journalist Will Storr takes us from ancient Greece, through the Christian Middle Ages, to the self-esteem evangelists of 1980s California, the rise of the “selfie generation,” and the era of hyper-individualism in which we live now, telling the epic tale of the person we all know so intimately—because it’s us. “It’s easy to look at Instagram and selfie-sticks and shake our heads at millennial narcissism. But Will Storr takes a longer view. He ignores the easy targets and instead tells the amazing 2,500-year story of how we’ve come to think about our selves. A top-notch journalist, historian, essayist, and sleuth, Storr has written an essential book for understanding, and coping with, the 21st century.” —Nathan Hill, New York Times-bestselling author of The Nix “This fascinating psychological and social history . . . reveals how biology and culture conspire to keep us striving for perfection, and the devastating toll that can take.”—The Washington Post “Ably synthesizes centuries of attitudes and beliefs about selfhood, from Aristotle, John Calvin, and Freud to Sartre, Ayn Rand, and Steve Jobs.” —USA Today “Eminently suitable for readers of both Yuval Noah Harari and Daniel Kahneman, Selfie also has shades of Jon Ronson in its subversive humor and investigative spirit.” —Bookseller “Storr is an electrifying analyst of Internet culture.” —Financial Times “Continually delivers rich insights . . . captivating.” —Kirkus Reviews

A humble, compassionate, nonjudgmental inquiry into a predominant pathology and a predatory propensity by scientifically tracing substrate reality of intuitive-visceral action-behavior; decoding sentient victimization by innate animalism-tribalism, entrenched in spectrum of consciousness-cognition and instituting a case for elusive humanism, in crumbling fabric of failed society-culture-polity. There is a golden rule of life-living – what you want is what you seek but what you seek is not always what you need. It means, there is a spectrum of animal-tribal wants and desires, which men and women subconsciously seek but they are not needed in civilized-cultured-liberal human world, as they stand in antagonism to requirements of humanism. It has to be understood as why it is that what we seek is not always what we actually need. To understand this, we have to understand the terms intuitive and non-intuitive experience-cognition of reality. This knowledge is essential for understanding your relationship with reality. It is this relationship of an individual life with reality he or she perceives and accepts, decides the spheres of animalism-tribalism or humanism, where the individual stands. Broadly, intuitive is what we feel and believe as true and right, without any external evidence, just because it makes us feel good and happy. This ‘benchmark of happiness’ is a scammed entity as happiness is largely and dominantly very intuitive-visceral and personal-subjective and different people have different sense and experiences of ‘happiness’. Non-intuitiveness is often contrary to intuitive feeling, based on common and singular objective facts as sufficient scientific evidence; even as it does not feel the ‘happy-comforting’ way we like and want. Often, what we feel, what we want and therefore seek, is intuitive-visceral-personal-subjective feeling, the evidence of which comes from our deep satisfying sense and experience of Happiness. Therefore, we don’t even bother to entertain any other evidence, different to what our body-mind tells us and we feel; to be happy is our right-liberty and it is very appropriate to be happy, even at the cost of making others unhappy and in pain. This is the seed of most cruelties and brutalities we heap on others. This trigger-happy, self-evidenced, intuitive-visceral sense of righteousness and its self-obsessed validation is cruelty-brutality; a definitive expression of animalism-tribalism. Sadly enough, for mass majority of men and women in contemporary world, this intuitive-visceral animalism-tribalism is the torchbearer of most behavior-actions, which they hold as their right at any cost. The pop wisdom is out there to augment and embolden this animalism-tribalism in men and women. This pop intelligence is simple and straight – ‘It is my body and my happiness and I know my body-joys better than all and that is why only I decide what I need’. This is the scam humanity perpetuates. This intuitive-visceral reality is partial and based on subjective choices and not objective reality. The other part of non-intuitive reality is not available to visceral consciousness and intuitive cognition as they are not part of body’s innate experiencing. Rather, they are part of knowledge, which has to be acquired through disciplined learning and this knowledge actually kills the visceral-intuitive sense and experiencing of Happiness. That is why solipsism, anti-intellectualism and anti-science sentimentalism are the most popular and lapped up trends in most societies and cultures, across the globe. They only prosper animalism-tribalism and proliferate cruelties-brutalities. The hope however rests with the ultimate power and potential of scientific knowledge. Many pluses are emerging, though slowly, and they are gradually sidelining many minuses. We just have to be patient, poised and compassionate, as new civilizational propensities and pathways emerge and prosper in 21st century.

Do you understand who you really are? Or how others really see you? We all know people with a stunning lack of self-awareness - but how often do we consider whether we might have the same problem? Research shows that self-awareness is the meta-skill of the 21st century - the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. Unfortunately, we are remarkably poor judges of ourselves and how we come across, and it's rare to get candid, objective feedback from colleagues, employees, and even friends and family.Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich shatters conventional assumptions about what it takes to truly know ourselves - like why introspection isn't a bullet train to insight, how experience is the enemy of self-knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves. Through stories of people who've made dramatic self-awareness gains, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help readers do the same - and therefore improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more.At a time when self-awareness matters more than ever, Insight is the essential playbook for surviving and thriving in an unaware world.

Sixteen literary luminaries on the controversial subject of being childless by choice, in this critically acclaimed, bestselling anthology One of the most provocative and talked-about books of the year, Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed is the stunning collection exploring one of society’s most vexing taboos. One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed “fertility crisis,” and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all—a successful career and the required 2.3 children—before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, the conversation has turned to whether it’s necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life. In this exciting and controversial collection of essays, curated by writer Meghan Daum, thirteen acclaimed female writers explain why they have chosen to eschew motherhood. Contributors include Lionel Shriver, Sigrid Nunez, Kate Christensen, Elliott Holt, Geoff Dyer, and Tim Kreider, among others, who will give a unique perspective on the overwhelming cultural pressure of parenthood. This collection makes a smart and passionate case for why parenthood is not the only path to a happy, productive life, and takes our parent-centric, kid-fixated, baby-bump-patrolling culture to task in the process. In this book, that shadowy faction known as the childless-by-choice comes out into the light.

A brave teen recounts her debilitating struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder—and brings readers through every painful step as she finds her way to the other side—in this powerful and inspiring memoir. Until sophomore year of high school, fifteen-year-old Allison Britz lived a comfortable life in an idyllic town. She was a dedicated student with tons of extracurricular activities, friends, and loving parents at home. But after awakening from a vivid nightmare in which she was diagnosed with brain cancer, she was convinced the dream had been a warning. Allison believed that she must do something to stop the cancer in her dream from becoming a reality. It started with avoiding sidewalk cracks and quickly grew to counting steps as loudly as possible. Over the following weeks, her brain listed more dangers and fixes. She had to avoid hair dryers, calculators, cell phones, computers, anything green, bananas, oatmeal, and most of her own clothing. Unable to act “normal,” the once-popular Allison became an outcast. Her parents questioned her behavior, leading to explosive fights. When notebook paper, pencils, and most schoolbooks were declared dangerous to her health, her GPA imploded, along with her plans for the future. Finally, she allowed herself to ask for help and was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This brave memoir tracks Allison’s descent and ultimately hopeful climb out of the depths.

They're among us, but they are not like us. They manipulate, lie, cheat, and steal. They are irresistibly charming and accomplished, appearing to live in a radiance beyond what we are capable of. But narcissists are empty. No one knows exactly what everyone else is full of--some kind of a soul, or personhood--but whatever it is, experts agree that narcissists do not have it. So goes the popular understanding of narcissism, or NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). And it's more prevalent than ever, according to recent articles in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Time. In bestsellers like The Narcissism Epidemic, Narcissists Exposed, and The Narcissist Next Door, pop psychologists have armed the normal with tools to identify and combat the vampiric influence of this rising population, while on websites like narcissismsurvivor.com, thousands of people congregate to swap horror stories about relationships with "narcs." In The Selfishness of Others, the essayist Kristin Dombek provides a clear-sighted account of how a rare clinical diagnosis became a fluid cultural phenomenon, a repository for our deepest fears about love, friendship, and family. She cuts through hysteria in search of the razor-thin line between pathology and common selfishness, writing with robust skepticism toward the prophets of NPD and genuine empathy for those who see themselves as its victims. And finally, she shares her own story in a candid effort to find a path away from the cycle of fear and blame and toward a more forgiving and rewarding life.

From the age of three Jonathan Self had only one ambition: not to be like his father. Despite his determination to be a better man -- and a better parent than his own had been -- Jonathan was a twice-divorced father of three and, at age thirty-five, spiraling. Self Abuse is the story of Jonathan's efforts to break free from the cycle of despair and dysfunction that characterized his youth. A brilliantly rendered, unapologetic memoir about the pain and joy of parenthood, Jonathan's story is as heartbreaking, redemptive, and unforgettable as it is true.
