“A major issue with modern society and its mainstream culture is that it propagates a distorted idea of what it means to be human and what brings us true happiness. Through mass media, entertainment, advertising, and other cultural elements, we have been indoctrinated to believe that the sole purpose of life is to chase amusement and endless distractions. We have been sold the notion that satisfying our most basic instincts is an admirable goal. That unbridled promiscuity and unrestrained sexuality lead to fulfillment and that accumulating material possessions and wealth guarantees both success and happiness.�

quote
“When the masses are constantly distracted, and their attention is diverted from reality, they not only lose sight of their own goals but also become more susceptible to injustices and abuses perpetrated by those in power. The root cause lies in the fact that a mind occupied with mindless pursuits and overwhelmed by constant stimulation never gets the chance to nourish itself, engage in critical thinking, or use higher intellectual skills—a state of mind that makes us really vulnerable to the powers that be.�

THE MODERN WORLD AGAINST THE HUMAN SOUL: Exploring modernity's impact on the human spirit and well-being:
"This book really got me thinking about how the modern world affects us deep down. The author talks about stuff like how fast life is now and how technology is everywhere. It's written in a way that's easy to understand, even if you're not an expert. "

“much of our suffering often arises from living a lifestyle that is out of sync with our inner needs. This implies that a genuine path to healing often lies in making fundamental shifts within our lifestyles and thought patterns. Only by reevaluating and recalibrating our approach to life can we address the root causes of our discomfort and stagnation.
Regrettably, mainstream medicine often fails to endorse such transformative approaches. Instead, a deceptive narrative has been meticulously crafted by pharmaceutical giants, promoting the idea that pills capable of altering brain chemistry are the panacea for all our struggles. This untruthful and misleading notion has ensnared many, encouraging them to seek solutions in drugs rather than in meaningful changes. This can explain why many people remain stuck in toxic and self-destructive lifestyles that only bring gloom and doom into their lives.”

“If a significant number of modern humans cannot experience joy and eudaimonia from life, it’s likely because the new technologies and corporate forces surrounding us have kept us shackled to an existence that is at odds with our soulsâ€� explorative and creative needs.”

“we shouldn’t view persistent negative emotions as symptoms of a biological malaise or a malfunctioning brain, as medical professional often tend to do. Instead, we should see them as indicators that our life has veered off the intended path and we are now living in a way that fails to satisfy the deepest yearning of our soul.”

“Parents aspire for their children to excel academically and develop their talents, but mainstream celebrities often encourage them to prioritize drug consumption and mindless entertainment over educational pursuits. Parents hope for their daughters to maintain their purity and innocence, yet idols continuously promote looseness and self-objectification as virtuous behaviors.
Parents also want their children to prioritize their health and to lead a wholesome lifestyle, yet modern music celebrities often glamorize drug use, portraying it as a masculine and cool pursuit. Alternatively, parents often aim to instill a growth mindset and a strong work ethic in their children. Yet, the musical icons often glorify hedonist pursuits and short-term gratification.
In light of these toxic messages incessantly inundating the airwaves, it is hardly surprising to see so many individuals leading self-destructive lives or harboring toxic misconceptions about life’s true essence. They have unwittingly followed the wrong role models, heeded the wrong idols, and are now grappling with the consequences of such misguided influence.”

“Most individuals still hold the belief that as long as they are not physically coerced by external forces, their decisions are entirely their own, driven by their own volition. However, this belief couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that through sly marketing and other manipulative techniques exploiting both our moral compasses and pleasure centers, humans can indeed be manipulated, often without them being aware of it.”
