Our thoughts bear the marks of a bygone era. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as long as we recognize it. Understanding the profound influence of culture on our thinking can help us break free from its hold. As Germany’s leading scholar of contemporary culture, Christine Fratz reveals how to illuminate what we’ve long felt but never dared to name.

In her new book, Christine Fratz uncovers what guides our culture, and thus, who we are at our core, and how we can begin to break free from it. Not through rebellion. Consciously.
