Krátky popis
Part cultural criticism, part rueful confessional, a reformed brand
strategist brings to light the impact of influence on us and our
society and offers an escape in this ironically persuasive case for
not being so easily influenced anymore. We live in a world that is
under the influence. Our lives are being choreographed by forces
that want something from us. Everything from ingrained family
values to mind-altering algorithms create our foundations, warp how
we see the world, manipulate our decisions, and dictate our
beliefs. Yet rarely do we question these everyday influences of our
modern times even as we go further down the path of unwell,
unhappy, and unhinged. A high-spirited exploration through the
troublesome influences of our world, Raising Hell, Living Well,
Jessica Elefante's eye-opening debut, follows one bullshit artist's
journey, from small-time salesperson to award-winning corporate
strategist to founder of the digital wellbeing movement Folk
Rebellion, in coming to terms with how she was wielding
influence--and the forces she was under herself. With whip-smart
writing and wry humor, Elefante's collection of essays is a
head-trip through her misadventures. From explaining productivity
as a symptom of the influence of capitalism to how the wellness
industry makes us feel more unwell or our unquestioning
participation in oversharing, optimization, and instant
gratification, she invites us to reexamine our world, our pasts,
and ourselves through the lens of influence. Now a reformed brand
strategist, Elefante lays bare her own culpability, sharing what
she learned--and what she got wrong. She offers a new take on
intentional living and provides a simple practice to deconstruct
how the powers-that-be are attempting to modify our behaviors.
Before you know it, you'll be questioning everything from how you
take your coffee to how our social institutions are structured. And
you'll learn how to live free from the influences around
us--including Elefante herself. The much-needed subversive voice to
demystify these times, Elefante will make you angry, make you
laugh, and make you think about how you're really living.
Unpretentious, sharply observed, and devil-hearted, Raising Hell,
Living Wellholds out a hand to help you climb out from under the
influence.
