Exploring the complex relationship between shame, group identity, and mental health, Dr. Tanveer Ahmed critiques the societal tendency to stigmatize negative emotions as part of a broader "tyranny of the positive." He posits that this repression of shame hinders personal growth and contributes to rising mental health issues like anxiety and self-harm, often rooted in unacknowledged shame. Through historical context and contemporary analysis, the book delves into how embracing all emotions can foster better mental well-being.
