Judged: The Value of Being Misunderstood, Hardcover

Everyone fears being judged. One foolish tweet can destroy a career, one careless image can damage a life. Yet judgement is inescapable; we cannot be social beings without judging and being judged.

We need judgement - we want to be considered worthy of consideration, respect and love - but this act of judging can cause us pain. We want to be understood but will anyone ever truly understand us? And can we even truly understand ourselves? This provocative exploration of our contemporary world responds to the fragility of reputation and relationships with refreshing directness. We may never be truly understood by anyone, we may never be judged entirely fairly but we have moments of connection and of meaning in spite of this; moments when the light comes in.
