And why do we care so much? Does winning make us happy? Winning undertakes an unprecedented investigation of winning and losing in American society, what we are really after as we struggle to win, our collective beliefs about winners and losers, and much more. Francesco Duina argues that victory and loss are not endpoints or final destinations but gateways to something of immense importance to us: the affirmation of our place in the world. But Duina also shows that competition is unlikely to provide us with the answers we need. Winning and losing are artificial and logically flawed concepts that put us at odds with the world around us and, ultimately, ourselves. Duina explores the social and psychological effects of the language of competition in American culture. Primarily concerned with our shared obsessions about winning and losing, Winning proposes a new mind-set for how we can pursue our dreams, and, in a more satisfying way, find our proper place in the world. 606 $aSocial values$zUnited States 606 $aLosers$zUnited States 606 $aSuccess$zUnited States 606 $aFailure (Psychology) 606 $aCompetition (Psychology) 606 $aNational characteristics, American 615 0$aSocial values 615 0$aLosers 615 0$aSuccess 615 0$aFailure (Psychology) 615 0$aCompetition (Psychology) 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 676 $a303.3/720973 700 $aDuina$b Francesco G.$f1969-$01466975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786957703321 996 $aWinning$93755658 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01139cam0-2200385---450 001 990006747740403321 005 20240613120231.0 035 $a000674774 035 $aFED01000674774 035 $a(Aleph)000674774FED01 100 $a20010426d1971----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $aBayle, Leibniz e la storia$fAntonio Corsano 210 $aNapoli$cGuida$d1971 215 $a79 p.$d21 cm 225 1 $aStudi vichiani$v8 610 0 $aLeibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm (filosofo, 1646-1716)$aStudi 676 $a193$v23$zita 700 1$aCorsano,$bAntonio$f<1899-1989>$0157375 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gRICA$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a990006747740403321 952 $aDAM A80 CORA 01$b2024/4314$fFLFBC 952 $a191.22 VICG/S 001 (08)$b11626 bibl.$fFLFBC 952 $aCOLLEZ. 1334 (8)$b16031$fFSPBC 952 $aSDI-2KF 177 (I)$bs.i.$fSDI 952 $aXII A 1011$b17078$fFSPBC 952 $aDFT A80 CORA 01$b2021/555$fFLFBC 959 $aFLFBC 959 $aFSPBC 959 $aSDI 996 $aBayle, Leibniz e la storia$9630794 997 $aUNINA
