One form of self-sacrifice feels positive, something to admire and aspire to, while the other is profoundly unsettling, if not actively undesirable.\n\nThere are always, it turns out, both good and bad sacrifices, but it is not always clear beforehand which is which. We give something up because we believe we can no longer go on as we are. In this sense, giving up is a critical moment―an attempt to make a different future.\n\nIn\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42785351499860,"sku":"TBD-FBM-9780374614140","price":14.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/1479\/9188\/files\/71Sw10rWaeL._SY522.jpg?v=1766516526","url":"https:\/\/wesavebooks.com\/products\/on-giving-up-0374614148","provider":"We Save Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
