Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why does America feel so reactive, exhausted, and divided? Why do institutions seem incapable of reform? Why does the culture feel increasingly unreal? The American Mirror argues that the root cause is national blindness-the loss of America's ability to see itself clearly. Reid P. Claxton, Ph.D., traces the five-part arc of this collapse: the blinding of the interior world, the compensations that fill the vacuum, the systems that sustain the blindness, the new gods that rise in the absence of sight, and the reckoning that determines the nation's future. With diagnostic clarity and narrative force, he shows how Americans drifted into overstimulation, emotional outsourcing, symbolic inflation, and identity fragmentation-and what must be rebuilt for clarity and control to return. In many ways, The American Mirror stands as the natural successor to Claxton's earlier work The Fractured Mind of a Nation. While that book exposed how manufactured realities distort democratic perception, The American Mirror reveals what happens when a country can no longer recognize those distortions as distortions. Together, the two works form a unified diagnostic of national self-deception-one tracing the construction of America's fractured inner world, the other confronting the consequences of living inside it. Readers who found Fractured Mind clarifying will see this book as its deeper, more urgent reflection. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
