Reviews

This is a book about who we are today, and how we have become who we are.  It is about the engineers of the modern soul, the entrepreneurial self.  It is essential reading for all those who care about the incessant demands placed on us to become more than we are, to become entrepreneurs of our selves, to maximise and optimise our capacities in ways that align personal identity and political responsibility.
