The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl R. Trueman

5.0

This one will take some digesting. A truly phenomenal and surprisingly dispassionate look at the sexual revolution and its consequences on society writ large. Trueman is nothing if not fair to his opponents, something that, I regret to say, really surprised me. He has a deep understanding of all of the movements he's presenting here. It's important to note that this isn't a Christian tirade against the decline of Western society. It's a historian's attempt to answer the question of how we got where we are today. Highly recommended, even if you're secular.
