"... The author and her contributors write commandingly and offer a well-structured, well-presented analysis of the existing studies and illustrate quite succinctly the maladaptive consequences of a society and its individuals who equate material success with self-worth." - Kristina Downing-Orr, clinical psychologist, London, UK, in The Psychologist
"Dr. Dittmar has done us a great service by writing a book on the importance of 'consuming' to society and to individual identity and well-being that is both scholarly and accessible. The book tackles some tough questions regarding who and what people want to be, how they go about constructing their 'selves', and just what is it that people want from life and why. I wish more research psychologists were writing books like this."- James E. Maddux,George Mason University, Washington, USA
"Dittmar's book provides a valuable review of her ground-breaking psychological studies of consumer culture. In my mind, the book's strongest contribution is its explication of how identity-related processes help explain the damage that occurs when individuals take on the materialistic values and unhealthy body images encouraged in our contemporary world."- Tim Kasser,Knox College, USA
"Consumer Culture, Identity and Well-Being: The Search for the 'Good Life' and the 'Body Perfect' discusses an important and timely issue - the psychological impact of mass consumption that visibly pervades our consumer culture. ... The author makes a contribution by focusing on identity." - Candice R. Hollenbeck & George M. Zinkhan, PsycCRITIQUES

“This stimulating collection of essays should be required reading for students of international history, and also serves as a credible means for nonspecialists to enrich their survey courses of British, European, and imperial history … .” (Geoff Bil, H-War, H-Net Reviews, February, 2018)'These volumes offer scholars a variety of subjects about Britain's role in global politics since the nineteenth century. Among the strongest contributions are the chapters about foreign policy that rely on interviews and sources directly from policymakers and the political elite [The volumes] offer solid essays for scholars interested in Britain's role in global affairs since the late nineteenth century and are an excellent tribute to the memory of Saki Dockrill.'- The Journal of the Historical Association

“This book is ground-breaking. It is surely essential reading for all of those who would engage with mindfulness and contemplative approaches in education and is as relevant for schools as it is for higher education. … Ergas’ profound and synthetic vision has the potential to not only connect us across educational, psychological, philosophical and contemplative divides, but also to open doors and break down our walls and silos.” (Katherine Weare, Mindfulness, Vol. 11, 2020)“This book is not just ‘another’ addition to the contemplative turn in education, which has been around since the turn of the millennium, but is an outstanding and unique contribution to this movement. ... the author does a really good job of analyzing the nuances of the mind … . This book is not just about something, but rather, it is something.” (Cuong Nguyen, Educational Philosophy and Theory, March, 2018) “His examples are relevant and worthy of further thought because each can contribute to discipline disparities and underperformance. Implied in these examples is the message that addressing problems of educational inequities and countering practices that do not serve diverse students must involve the inner curriculum, which is at play in constructing the perceptions and actions of those involved. Ergas' text provides the reader with a great deal to think about and act upon.” (Shelley Thomas, Teachers College Record, April 04, 2018)

“What is most interesting in the book is that Ergas’s writing models what he expresses. Rather than asserting his arguments in solely third-person statements, he speaks to the reader in a fresh, first-person language that includes experiential exercises.&nbsp; … His book has made an important contribution to the field of contemplative education, and will no doubt lay the foundation for a more comprehensive development of what contemplative inquiry can contribute to a fuller and more enriching human life.” (Judith Simmer-Brown, Buddhist Christian Studies, Vol. 38, 2018)“This book is an important contribution to education and how mindful attention and inner curriculum are left behind or invisible. … This text would be desirable for reading groups that engage the community, parents, and teachers in dialogue (and mindfulness activities) and in communal work to help students develop into active members of a democratic society.” (Maureen P. Hall, Journal of Transformative Education, Vol. 16 (1), 2018)

"...the nineteen narratives collected in this volume give us the professional-and often intensely personal-life of the discipline as told from the first-person perspective of some of its most prominent scholars...all demand to be read, not only for what they say about what it means to 'make it' in this field, but also for how such stories go on making and remaking the field through the act of their telling."&#8212;Composition Studies"I just finished reading Living Rhetoric and Composition in one day...I could not put the book down. I read the whole thing, cover to cover, at one sitting....To my knowledge, there is nothing like this in the discipline....The contributors describe moments in which they were forever changed. I believe that many readers will be, as I was, forever changed by reading these stories."&#8212;Rebecca Moore HowardTexas Christian University"I found this book intriguing, and more important, a challenge--not to what I think but to how I behave....
