Seligman provides an excellent essay that challenges modernity's wrongly-held belief in the autonomous self.While he asserts the significance of authority in human relationships, I believe the book is stronger as an extended statement regarding the social embeddedness of human beings.It debunks the often touted belief in increased individual isolation due to fundamental social changes that supposedly tear apart social ties.For this alone, the book is highly instructive and intellectually entertaining.Will interest anyone who has spent time thinking about the place of the self in the modern world.Click Here to see more reviews about: Modernity's Wager (Hardcover)
