{"product_id":"what-about-me-ism","title":"What About Me Ism","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Vincent F. Hendricks draws on game theory, behavioral economics and moral philosophy in a scathing critique of what he calls \u003cem\u003ewhataboutmeism\u003c\/em\u003e. A form of egoism in which life is viewed as a zero-sum game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colleague is promoted; a friend hangs out with another friend but not you; and your partner decides to spend the day off with the friends. Promptly we may ask: “What about me?!” Often enough the answer to that recurring question should simply be: “What about you? It’s not about you!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy systematically confusing autonomy with egoism and groupthink with democracy we develop and sustain this way of thinking. To overcome this trend of whataboutmeism we must take a hard look at ourselves, the games we play, the way we behave and discipline ourselves into realizing ‘it’s not all about me’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumorous, erudite yet scholarly, the book covers this prevalent trend in society that rages online as well as offline. By providing a full analysis of said trend based on game theory, behavioral economics and moral philosophy, the author helps us realise that it’s not all about me. It’s about us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192467890558,"sku":"NW9783031846397","price":27.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783031846397.jpg?v=1778547305","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/what-about-me-ism","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
