Summary | "As the forces of social media and capitalism collide, and individualism becomes more important than ever across a wide array of industries, "branding ourselves" or actively defining our selves for others has become the norm. Yet, this phenomenon is not new. In Self-made, Tara Isabella Burton shows us how we arrived at this moment of fervent personal branding.
