Self Help, Inc.: Makeover Culture in American Life
McGee, Micki (Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Fordham University)
Why doesn't self-help help? Cultural critic Micki McGee puts forward this paradoxical question as she looks at a world where the market for self-improvement products is exploding, and there seems to be no end in sight. Rather than seeing narcissism at the root of the self-help craze, McGee shows a nation relying on self-help culture for advice on how to cope in an increasingly volatile and competitive work world. Self-Help, Inc. reveals how makeover culturetraps Americans in endless cycles of self-invention and overwork as they struggle to stay ahead of a rapidly restructuring economic order.
