EDUCATION: The Culture of Narcissism - American Life in An Age of Diminishing Expectations. By Christopher Lasch

Suggested BOOK:

National Best Seller 1979. The Culture of Narcissism -  American Life in An Age of Diminishing Expectations. By Christopher Lasch.

Highly recommended book. Offers insight about American culture today. Why is our culture today so evidently narcissistic? Why the decline of morality and values? Why are expectations diminishing? Christopher Lasch dives into the root cause, our political history, psychological traits and other contributing causes. It makes you think about some of the challenges we face as a culture today, why we behave the way we do and possible future consequences as a result.

Wikipedia excerpt: The book quickly became a bestseller and a talking point, being further propelled to success after Lasch notably visited Camp David to advise President Carter for his "crisis of confidence" speech of 15 July 1979. Later editions include a new afterword, "The Culture of Narcissism Revisited".
