Seeing others

Sobre el libro Seeing others de Michèle Lamont publicado por Penguin Books LTD al 2025:

How do we measure our selfworth?For many of us, it signifies accomplishment, selfreliance, and wealth. Decades of neoliberalism have driven our definition of success. Yet, as we have amassed more achievements, we have been overwhelmed and overworked in a world of growing inequality. Should we start judging others, and ourselves, differently?In this capstone work, acclaimed sociologist Michèle Lamont argues that it is time to move our focus from having to being. We will only heal ourselves by the power of recognition: by rendering others visible and valued.
