DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this perceptive and witty book, Theodore Dalrymple unmasks the hidden sentimentality that is suffocating public life. Under themultiple guises of raising children well, caring for the underprivileged, assisting the less able and doing good generally, we are achieving quite the opposite. Dalrymple takes the reader on both an entertaining and at times shocking journey through social, political, popular and literary issues as diverse as child tantrums, aggression, educational reform, honour killings, sexual abuse, public emotions and the role of suffering, and shows the perverse results when we abandon logic in favour of the cult of feeling.
