What About Me?: The Struggle for Identity in a Market-Based Society




What About Me?: The Struggle for Identity in a Market-Based Society by Jane Hedley-Prole

According to current thinking, anyone who fails to succeed must have something wrong with them. The pressure to achieve and be happy is taking a heavy toll, resulting in a warped view of the self, disorientation, and despair. People are lonelier than ever before. Today"s pay-for-performance mentality is turning institutions such as schools, universities, and hospitals into businesses – even individuals are being made to think of themselves as one-person enterprises. Love is increasingly hard to find, and we struggle to lead meaningful lives. In What about Me?, Paul Verhaeghe"s main concern is how social change has led to this psychic crisis and altered the way we think about ourselves. He investigates the effects of 30 years of neoliberalism, free-market forces, privatisation, and the relationship between our engineered society and individual identity. It turns out that who we are is, as always, determined by the context in which we live. From his clinical experience as a psychotherapist, Verhaeghe shows the profound impact that social change is having on mental health, even affecting the nature of the disorders from which we suffer. But his book ends on a note of cautious optimism. Can we once again become masters of our fate?

Gli esperti di politica fanno sempre più fatica a orientarsi in un territorio mobile, di cui è facile smarrire la mappa. Anche perché concentrano l"attenzione sui protagonisti della ribalta politica – i governi, le istituzioni, i partiti – e trascurano il retroscena sociale. In particolare, ignorano quei "microclimi d"opinione" che improntano i mondi locali e i rapporti interpersonali. In questo modo, però, molti fenomeni diventano invisibili e inspiegabili. Per ritrovare la bussola, nello spazio ai confini tra politica e società, Diamanti chiama in aiuto due padri nobili della cultura italiana. E non esita a cogliere i suggerimenti di una "politologa pop" che gli sta vicino…
