Editorial Reviews
Review
"We should commend Illouz in her willingness to blaze a new, and certainly untested path in anthropological writing." -- Seth Jacobs, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"Outstanding... its author digs deeper into her subject matter than any other researcher yet to address Oprah." -- David W. Park, Journal of Communication
Review
"Examining Oprah as moral entrepreneur reveals the depth and dignity of everyday frameworks for making sense of misery. Illouz's blend of sharp-sighted analysis, irony and compassion will change the way we see popular culture." -- Susan Neiman, Director, Einstein Forum and author of Evil in Modern Thought
