Judged: The Value Of Being Misunderstood

Everyone worries about being judged, yet we cannot be social beings without judging and being judged. We're stuck with judgement and all the awkwardness, embarrassment, shame, guilt and loneliness that can come with that. Yet all is not lost in this arena of snap verdicts and social misfires. This book reclaims judgement proposing that it is necessary in order to value ourselves and others. Drawing upon psychology, philosophy, TV, Film, poetry and literature, the author reveals a world which takes seriously our need to reach out and connect and one where hope, however tentative, can blossom.
