Opis

This volume examines the question of how the incessant demand for improved performance and efficiency, the pursuit of self-improvement and everyday multitasking affect not only relationships with others, but also with body and self. Bringing together contributions from renowned scholars from the fields of sociology, psychology and psychoanalysis, it explores the impacts of optimisation on culture and psyche.
