Transnational Popular Psychology and the Global Self-Help Industry
Through a set of diverse case studies in five countries, this book examines the production, circulation and consumption of self-help narratives of self and social relationships. Drawing on case studies from East Asia, Western Europe and the Americas, it offers fresh insights into the ways in which popular psychology intersects with neoliberal processes of development to shape our everyday lives. |
