Seeing Others - Michele Lamont
From internationally renowned sociologist Michele Lamont, a game-changing argument about what we value and why How do we measure our self-worth? Decades of neoliberalism have driven our definition of success. For many of us, it signifies accomplishment, self-reliance, and wealth.
In this capstone work, acclaimed sociologist Michele Lamont argues that it is time to move our focus from having to being. 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? 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.Seeing Others 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. This book is a clarion call: it strikes at the heart of our struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward.
