About this ebook
A life can look convincing and still feel strangely absent. Through the lantern of Diogenes and the listening room of psychoanalysis, this field guide explores the social masks that begin as protection and become a private prison. Six contemporary scenes, candid questions, and a seven-day experiment help readers distinguish flexible roles from compulsory performance—and recover small actions that do not need an audience.
