Sinossi

Success Narrative Critique challenges conventional, culturally-driven definitions of success rooted in achievement, wealth, and status, revealing how these narratives can paradoxically lead to dissatisfaction and a loss of purpose. It highlights that in contemporary society, the relentless pursuit of these markers often overshadows genuine happiness and spiritual fulfillment. The book uniquely contrasts these societal values with the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing humility and servanthood as alternative paths to a more meaningful existence.

 
The book explores the historical evolution of success narratives, tracing their roots from the Protestant work ethic to modern consumer culture, influencing our understanding of personal worth. It delves into sociological concepts like social comparison and status anxiety, examining how these pressures impact individual well-being.

 
Structured in three parts, the book deconstructs cultural narratives, examines Jesus' teachings, and synthesizes these perspectives, offering practical approaches to cultivate a balanced life grounded in compassion and re-calibrated values.

Settling the Boom - The Sites...

Mary E. Thomas, Bruce Braun

Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom 
 
 
 
Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. 
 
 
 
This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the "Bakken Boom." While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.
