• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why read this book? Because you have felt it: the weariness of curating your digital life, the pressure to appear engaged and successful at work, the silent demand to "perform vulnerability" in relationships. Because you know that being human has come to feel like acting and you are searching for another way. Who is this book for?Professionals drained by corporate scripts and endless visibility. Creators and digital natives navigating the pressures of online audiences. Thinkers, readers, and seekers questioning what it means to live authentically. Anyone who suspects that life itself has turned into theatre and wants to reclaim a private self. Readers of cultural psychology, modern philosophy, or self-reflection who crave a voice that bridges analysis with lived experience. Those who long for a practical yet poetic guide to navigating burnout, identity, and meaning in a hyper-visible world. At once, a cultural critique and personal reflection, a lyrical inquiry and practical wisdom, The Performance of Self speaks directly to the contradictions of our age. It illuminates why authenticity has become both a promise and a prison, and offers readers the courage to step into a different kind of freedom. With rich metaphors, evocative language, and grounded insights, this book becomes both mirror and map helping readers recognize the roles they play, while guiding them toward the spaces where life can be lived more privately, quietly, and meaningfully. Provocative. Urgent. Unforgettable. This book asks the most important question of our time: How do we remain human when life itself has become a stage?

Autorenporträt

Ruchir Saurabh is a strategist, business architect, and transformation leader whose career spans more than two decades across telecom, technology, and enterprise growth. He has worked at the forefront of India's digital revolution, shaping strategies that changed how millions connect. His professional identity is defined by a single thread: building systems and frameworks that thrive in disruption. Over the years, Ruchir has navigated the shifting landscape of India's corporate and digital sectors, leading teams and initiatives that redefined market approaches, compressed delivery cycles, and introduced new ways of thinking about scale. These experiences sharpened his expertise as a strategist and gave him a front-row seat to the silent performances of modern professional life. He witnessed how organizations, leaders, and individuals present polished images to the world, while concealing the exhaustion and contradictions beneath. It was in these boardrooms, planning sessions, and transformation programs that the seeds of his first book, The Performance of Self, began to take root. The book is not a management manual or a memoir of corporate lessons. Instead, it is a cultural critique and philosophical exploration of how society's obsession with authenticity has paradoxically created a crisis of identity. Drawing on metaphors of the stage, masks, and mirrors, Ruchir connects professional realities with personal ones, asking why life has become a never-ending performance - and how we might reclaim a private self. Beyond his corporate achievements, Ruchir is deeply interested in how culture, psychology, and technology overlap. His writing blends the analytical precision of a strategist with the curiosity of a storyteller, allowing him to move between the abstract and the practical in ways that resonate with professionals, thinkers, and general readers alike.
