On Wanting To Change
Paperback Edition: 1
We live in a world in which we are invited to change--to become our best selves, through politics, or fitness, or diet, or therapy.
We change all the time--growing older and older--and how we think about change changes over time too.
We want to think of our lives as progress myths--as narratives of positive personal growth--at the same time as we inevitably age and suffer setbacks.
So there are the stories we tell about change, and there are the changes we actually make--and they don't always go, or come, together...
This sparkling book is about that fact.
