Is shame necessary?

In 'Is Shame Necessary?

: New Uses for an Old Tool,' Jennifer Jacquet argues that public shaming, when properly directed and utilized in the age of social media, can be an effective tool for changing behaviors and policies that harm the environment.

Jacquet distinguishes between shame and guilt, emphasizing that shame can be a powerful mechanism for enforcing social norms and influencing groups and corporations.

The book provides a set of 'Habits of Highly Effective Shaming' and discusses the potential and limitations of using shame to drive positive change.
