{"product_id":"bill-peel-against-ambition-9781915672032","title":"Against Ambition","description":"Explores the effect that capitalist ambition has on our psyches and societies, and what a world without ambition might look like. Against Ambition examines the psychological and societal impact of capitalist ambition and imagines a world liberated from its pressures. - Critical Exploration of Ambition: Analyses how ambition became the dominant force shaping our lives since the 1980s, pushing us to view success as solely our responsibility—and failure as our fault.- The Cult of Capitalist Success: Bill Peel critiques how capitalism turned ambition into an endless cycle of \"rise and grind,\" passive income pursuits, and corporate competition, pushing us into self-sacrificing, goal-oriented lives.- A Call to Reimagine Life Beyond Ambition: Argues that relentless ambition undermines collective action and turns individuals into isolated social climbers, hindering efforts to create a more equitable world.- Radical Freedom in Letting Go: Advocates for a life freed from constant self-improvement, valuing the right to \"waste time\" as a radical act against neoliberal values. For readers interested in social criticism, capitalism’s influence on personal identity, or alternative views on productivity and success, Against Ambition offers a powerful challenge to the “cult of ambition.”","brand":"Penguin LLC US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53623860560214,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781915672032_1.jpg?v=1778625869","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bill-peel-against-ambition-9781915672032","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
