Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The world we live in today is extremely confusing, and it can be difficult for older generations to understand it. The generation gap today is reflected not just in fashion and music, but in attitudes and beliefs about some of the most basic aspects of human existence.

#2 The self is the foundation of our experience of the world, and it is what makes us navigate the chaos around us. It is the connection between three concepts that are relevant to my narrative: expressive individualism, the sexual revolution, and the social imaginary.

#3 The modern self is defined by what is called expressive individualism. The modern self assumes the authority of inner feelings and sees authenticity as defined by the ability to give social expression to the same.

#4 The modern self is one where authenticity is achieved by acting outwardly in accordance with one’s inward feelings. This notion of selfhood is very deep in modern culture, and it helps to explain a host of interesting phenomena.
