I promise this has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen

What’s got our society so focused on winning? Or maybe, why is there a cultural stigma so greatly attached to losing, and how many victories over losses must one have to be, forgive me, Winning?

Francesco Duina’s book, Winning: Reflections on an American Obsession, tries to investigate the American fascination with being a winner, and tries to figure out what culturally counts as success and the journey to get there.

This book is recommended for anyone interested in current events, sociology, or pyschology.
