A reflective look at the world of celebrity and fame; the breakdowns, perfectionism, and the pressures we place on ourselves in an image-obsessed culture.

Reference:
The Myth of Normal Gabor Maté
Self-Compassion Kristin Neff
The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Erving Goffman
Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention Johann Hari
The Gifts of Imperfection Brené Brown
