The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Free Audiobook Download by Erving Goffman

Erving Goffman is one of the premier social theorists of the 20th century. In The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life he argues that there is a set of rules that we all follow when presenting ourselves to others. These rules are based on three principles: "face", "impression management", and "the impression theory". Face is the principle that allows us to maintain our self concept by being recognized as a member of a certain group, while impression management refers to how we act when we want to influence others' impressions about us. Finally, people develop their own interpretation of what other people think about them based on their own impressions so it is important for people to have control over how they present themselves in their daily life.
