The Creative Self

"The Creative Self" critically examines the pervasive culture of self-optimization promoted by neoliberal ideals, offering insights from psychoanalysts Marion Milner and Donald W. Winnicott. Through personal and philosophical reflections, the book explores alternative ways of understanding and embracing the self that resist the pressures of competitive individualism. By integrating intellectual and political perspectives, it presents a compelling approach to fostering authentic, creative living beyond conventional self-improvement.
