A new look at a powerful emotion – informative, journalistic, highly topical
We all know the feeling of shame – and nobody enjoys it. Shame is nearly impossible to control, and so it can be easily exploited and instrumentalized. This is the case today more than ever. Shame has made a huge comeback because of social media and has again become a weapon.
The author explains how shame comes about and in what kind of situations it is likely to occur. And he allows people whose lives have been shaped by shame to have their say, especially those who have suffered intensely. He helps us understand this basic human emotion and how we can learn to handle it better.
