Welcome to Cringe's library where we recommend books, videos, and podcasts that have either helped us write our content or are all-round Cringe certified bangers.

Ab0ut Us
As avid readers of personal essays to better understand the world and our place in it, we felt like not enough room was dedicated to exploring the less glamorous but arguably more interesting aspects of our shared and vulnerable humanity.
In this age of online surveillance and offline self-consciousness, there is a sense of always being watched and pressured to perform. Who’s there to offer radical compassion when we or others bear witness to our shortcomings?
Cringe’s mission is to open a space that allows us to intellectually engage with our self-consciousness; replacing shame with empathy, judgement with curiosity and guilt with a desire for positive change.
