The Modern Day Shame Machine

Shame is a powerful emotion we all experience that can make us act in ways we may regret. And especially today, with the increased pressure of the internet and social media, shame is increasingly built into our social fabric. Cathy O'Neil argues that today, shame is a systematic machine. Her new book, The Shame Machine: Who Profits In the New Age of Humiliation, demonstrates shame's presence in our world, whether in schools, politics, or corporations. She joins us to discuss the book, and take your calls.
