More about the book
The book explores the pervasive impact of modern media and therapy on American society, highlighting how public confessions and reliance on professional advice shape our understanding of emotional well-being. It examines the language we use to discuss mental health, such as "scarred for life" and "emotionally fragile," and reflects on the cultural narratives that influence our personal crises and self-perception. Through this lens, it critiques the normalization of vulnerability in everyday conversations and the media's role in framing our experiences.
