The Art of Selfishness

Since childhood, we have been conditioned to believe that absolute self-sacrifice is the ultimate human virtue, and that looking after oneself is a sin triggering endless guilt. But how many times have you found yourself depleted and burnt out just from trying to please everyone at your own expense?

The Art of Selfishness by the eminent French philosopher Dominique Lecourt, published by Thaat, arrives to flip traditional moral concepts upside down. In a gripping and deeply analytical narrative, Lecourt does not preach narcissism or malice; instead, he uses a philosopher's scalpel to dissect the hidden hypocrisy behind "fake altruism" and social compliance. This book is an intellectual, liberating invitation to master "legitimate selfishness"—the art that grants you the courage to put yourself first, set your boundaries firmly, and reconcile with your true desires without apology. After all, you cannot light up the path for others if your own internal flame has gone cold.
