Timaş Yayınları To Save the Modern Soul

Product description

According to many cultural critics, one of the great tragedies of contemporary man is that emotions and spiritual life have been turned into marketable commodities by the therapy and self-help industries: The modern individual is constantly turning to the market to "heal" his or her emotional depths, but in the process surrendering his or her spiritual fulfillment to consumer culture

Therapy sessions, self-help books and self-help seminars, while presented as prescriptions for spiritual peace, trap people in a deeper cycle of dissatisfaction, destroying the essence of the human spirit by commodifying our emotions and sense of self.In a way, the tragedy of the modern psyche is that, in trying to heal itself, it becomes more and more wounded. In Saving the Modern Psyche, renowned cultural critic and sociologist Eva Illouz addresses this problem and explores in depth how modern psychology shapes our emotional lives, our personal relationships and our social institutions.She meticulously reveals how the culture of therapy has infiltrated every aspect of our existence, transforming the way we perceive ourselves, interact with others, and seek happiness.

She argues that far beyond attempts to "heal" and "be healed," the culture of therapy and emotional management has redefined what it means to be human in the modern world.It questions how much we have internalized the idea that we need to constantly improve ourselves and our relationships.

It invites us to critically rethink the ideologies of emotion that have become the hallmark of modern life, and the therapy and self-help industry that has been treated as the savior of the modern world.
