Millions of people turn to self-improvement
when they find that their lives aren t working
out quite as they had imagined. The market for
self-improvement products
life-makeover seminars, and regimens of all
kinds
end in sight for this trend. In Self-Help, Inc.:
Makeover Culture in American Life, cultural critic
Micki McGee asks what our seemingly insatiable
demand for self-help can tell us about ourselves
at the outset of this new century.
The answers are surprising. Rather than finding
an America that is narcissistic or self-involved,
as others have contended, McGee sees a nation
relying on self-help culture for advice on how
to cope in an increasingly volatile and competi¬
tive work world. For Americans today, a central
component of working has become working on
themselves. Be all one can be, they are told.
Build your own personal brand. As women
have entered the paid labor force in growing
numbers, the Protestant work ethic has been
augmented by a romantic imperative that one
create a vision
and more, Americans are compelled to regard
themselves in effect as human capital. No
longer simply an enterprising or entrepreneurial
individual, the new worker is the artist and the
artwork, the CEO of Me, Inc., in Tom Peters
memorable phrase, and the centra! product
line. Self Help, Inc. reveals how makeover
culture traps Americans in endless cycles of self-
invention and overwork as they struggle to stay
ahead of a rapidly restructuring economic order.
A lucid and fascinating treatment of the modern
obsession with work and self-improvement, this
book will strike a chord with its diagnosis of
the self-help trap and with its suggestions for
how we can address the alienating conditions of
modern work and family life.
