Klappentext
Explores the effect that capitalist ambition has on our psyches and societies, and what a world without ambition might look like.
Against Ambition examines the psychological and societal impact of capitalist ambition and imagines a world liberated from its pressures.
- Critical Exploration of Ambition: Analyses how ambition became the dominant force shaping our lives since the 1980s, pushing us to view success as solely our responsibility---and failure as our fault.
- The Cult of Capitalist Success: Bill Peel critiques how capitalism turned ambition into an endless cycle of "rise and grind," passive income pursuits, and corporate competition, pushing us into self-sacrificing, goal-oriented lives.
- A Call to Reimagine Life Beyond Ambition: Argues that relentless ambition undermines collective action and turns individuals into isolated social climbers, hindering efforts to create a more equitable world.
- Radical Freedom in Letting Go: Advocates for a life freed from constant self-improvement, valuing the right to "waste time" as a radical act against neoliberal values.
For readers interested in social criticism, capitalism's influence on personal identity, or alternative views on productivity and success, Against Ambition offers a powerful challenge to the "cult of ambition."
