In this beautifully written meditation on resentment, Fleury opens up new ways of thinking about a subject’s capacity to become a trapped, incapacitated, and bitter victim of its own ruminations.

Without the ability to heal, resentment can give rise to violent impulses, to the rejection of the rule of law, the proliferation of conspiracy theories, and the urge to use violent means to try to regain control of one’s life.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs individuals and as societies, we face the same challenge: how to diagnose resentment and its dark forces, and how to resist the temptation to allow it to become the motor of our individual and collective histories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis bestselling and highly original account of the psychic forces shaping modern societies will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the crisis of democracy today and what we can do to address it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBitterness: What the Man of Resentment Experiences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
