Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book argues that we have got it wrong in the West with our belief in a 'self' that is autonomous and separate from others, exemplified by the entrepreneurial self: always on, always positive and always self-improving. This is the neoliberal self, a particular creature of late capitalism. However, as argued here, this view is harmful to us. It is the source of much of our suffering.Proposing as an antidote a Zen Buddhist account of the self, the book points to the possibility of true human liberation and a kinder world for all. In Zen, the self is not separate from others and our individual and collective suffering is intimately bound together.The author, a social scientist and long-standing Zen practitioner, draws on both personal experience and scholarly insight to make her case. No prior knowledge of Buddhism or of neoliberal thought is required of the reader - just a willingness to let go of some preconceived ideas and a curiosity about a different way of being. This book argues that we have got it wrong in the West in our pursuit of what we consider to be 'self': an autonomous, self-driven, entrepreneurial entity, always on, always positive and always improving. This is a neoliberal self, stripped of the social. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
