Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution

This book has many ideas from rise and triumph of the modern self, his previous book, but in a much more condensed version. \\nThough it's a book you want to be reading when alert and thinking clearly, it makes the ideas easy to understand, and gives are really interesting history of where many of the modern ideas when have about identity, culture, sex, etc. first started! It gave me a much clearer understanding about how we have ended up where we are in 2023, with the policies being made in our western governments. \\nWould recommend for anyone interested in understanding our society and culture better, and wanting to understand the history of the sexual revolution.

I HIGHLY recommend reading this book to those who are intimidated by the length of the full version. It was super helpful and expanded my knowledge and understanding of where we are and how we got here. Will definitely want to reread and now I'm more confident approaching the long version.

This is a great condensed and simplified version of Trueman's 'The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self'. With all the main ideas of its longer counterpart, this version is a much easier read with simplified language and without the extra depth. While I very much enjoyed Rise and Triumph, I prefer this version as it communicates all the main points far more concisely. Each chapter includes an introduction, body and conclusion and then following by reflective questions. I would highly recommend this book to those who have been wanting to read Rise and Triumph but baulking at the length and academic language.
