Recenzje

What a timely and important book. This well-researched and deep analysis of entitlement as a major psychological concept to understand persistent and sometimes violent social inequities in the US and globally is much needed. Anderson draws on decades of social science research to show how parents, teachers, peers, and media socialize specific groups to feel a strong sense of entitlement, with consequences that harm not only those around them but themselves. Enraged, Rattled, and Wronged argues convincingly that big issues such as climate change denial and challenges to democracy can be more clearly understood through the lens of entitlement. This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking book.
