Description
Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians by Tara Isabella Burton is a thought-provoking exploration of how we've become self-makers in modern society. This witty and sceptical book takes us on a journey through centuries, uncovering the stories of those who have shaped their own identities and fortunes. From the Renaissance to Hollywood's Golden Age, and from Silicon Valley to reality TV stars, Burton reveals both the liberatory power and dangers of this idea. As we navigate the forces of social media and capitalism, cultivating our 'personal brands' has become the norm. But this phenomenon is not new, and Burton's book offers a fascinating insight into how it all began.
