Stand Firm: Resisting the Self-Improvement Craze

A refreshing perspective, great to see a point of view on a different direction than of the mainstream self-help cult. Some useful food for thought, a humble invitation to take things at your own pace. In a world obsessed with speed, acceleration and constant improvement, this book offers a breath of fresh air, presenting you the alternatives - “putting down roots”, establishing an identity, making choices and being committed to them. In general, this book comes with a vibe of personal responsibility, dignity and making yourself better through helping others. It shifts the mirror from your own face to the ones of the people around you, which I believe is a healthy invitation to altruism.
