Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life

Wanting is a groundbreaking exploration of the hidden force that shapes our desires, and a toolkit for freeing ourselves from chasing unfulfilling wants.

Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to reveal how mimetic desire affects every aspect of our lives, from the way we choose partners and friends to the clothes we wear and the vacation destinations we select.

By understanding this force, we can learn to desire differently and achieve more independence from trends and bubbles.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain greater control over their desires and find more meaning in their lives.
