>Renown social critic Christopher Lash analyzes the literature surrounding the "culture of narcissism" prevalent at the writing of the book.
>Lash's brings a knowledge of psychoanalysis to the discussion as well one of literature, the latter of which has cataloged the disintegration of the "self" since at least the Romantic era.

Appalled by the cult of "staying positive"? What about "virtue signalers", and those whose sole purpose in life seems to be to "feel good"? A reader of Lash would note that these recent developments are borne out of trend in American culture that Lash documents.

Good and informative book, but a little biased. It's written like a textbook so it can sometimes be hard to keep on reading, but other than that it's fine.

William Gibson writes in "Zero History" that the Vietnam War was a "watershed' moment" for American masculinity.

The closest thing I can think of on the subject of the social evolution of America is this article on evolving sartorial culture on American college campuses during that era.
