Description
A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue by Wendy Shalit In this thought-provoking work, Wendy Shalit challenges our societal norms and explores the concept of modesty in modern times. First published in 1999, A Return to Modesty sparked a global discussion about the importance of innocence and romantic idealism. Fifteen years on, with social media increasingly blurring the lines between public and private life, this book's message remains as relevant as ever. Shalit argues that modesty is not prudery, but a natural instinct that can help us navigate our increasingly public lives. With its unique blend of personal narrative and intellectual exploration, A Return to Modesty delves into topics such as 17th-century manners and the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside." This updated edition includes a new preface addressing the challenges facing society today. A Return to Modesty is a deeply personal account that encourages us to rethink our attitudes towards modesty. By celebrating this lost virtue, Shalit reminds us of its value in preserving our innocence and romantic idealism in an age where social media dominates our lives.
