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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this capstone work, acclaimed sociologist Mich le Lamont argues that it is time to move our focus from \u003ci\u003ehaving\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e. We will only heal ourselves by the power of recognition- by rendering others visible and valued. By drawing on nearly forty years of research and interviews, as well as new interviews with Gen Z, change agents, and cultural icons who intentionally practice and promote recognition, she shows how new narratives are essential to shifting our metrics of success to focus on respect and dignity. \u003ci\u003eSeeing Others\u003c\/i\u003e fills a gaping hole left by recent economic and psychological thinking, with its focus on nudging, grit, and constant striving, offering a powerful, sociological alternative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a clarion call- it strikes at the heart of our struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46727037255838,"sku":"UBD-9780141993225","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141993225.jpg?v=1776491956","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141993225","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
