So interesting I literally couldnt put it down Sunday Times
We live in the age of the individual. We are supposed to be slim, prosperous, happy, extroverted and popular. This is our cultures image of the perfect self. We see this person everywhere: in advertising, in the press, all over social media. Were told that to be this person you just have to follow your dreams, that our potential is limitless, that we are the source of our own success.
But this model of the perfect self can be extremely dangerous. People are suffering under the torture of this impossible fantasy. Unprecedented social pressure is leading to increases in depression and suicide. Where does this ideal come from? Why is it so powerful? Is there any way to break its spell?
To answer these questions, Selfie by Will Storr takes us from the shores of Ancient Greece, through the Christian Middle Ages, to the self-esteem evangelists of 1980s California, the rise of narcissism and the selfie generation, and right up to the era of hyper-individualistic neoliberalism in which we live now.
It tells the extraordinary story of the person we all know so intimately  our self.
As featured on Russell Brand's Under The Skin podcast.
