Christopher Lasch 
The Minimal Self: Psychic Survival in Troubled Times [EPUB ebook] 

‘Even more valuable than its widely praised predecessor, The Culture of Narcissism.’ —John W. Aldridge

Faced with an escalating arms race, rising crime and terrorism, environmental deterioration, and long-term economic decline, people have retreated from commitments that presuppose a secure and orderly world. In his latest book, Christopher Lasch, the renowned historian and social critic, powerfully argues that self-concern, so characteristic of our time, has become a search for psychic survival.
