Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through stories of people pursuing their unique mattering projects: the ragtime genius Scott Joplin, whose dedication to his ignored masterpiece, \u003cem\u003eTreemonisha\u003c\/em\u003e, ended in tragedy; an impoverished Chinese woman who rescued abandoned newborns; and a skinhead who as a young man dealt racial violence to feel he mattered but ultimately renounced that past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we might see there is enough mattering to go around. Deeply revealing and insightful, \u003cem\u003eThe Mattering Instinct\u003c\/em\u003e is for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to understanding each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599711748332,"sku":"9781324096856","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b6984a14fd15914b7eda9f9700baaa82.jpg?v=1778021801","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-mattering-instinct-by-rebecca-newberger-goldstein-9781324096856","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
