Description
How to Survive the Modern World: Making sense of, and finding calm in, unsteady times
The modern world has brought about numerous benefits and joys, including technology, medicine, and transport. However, it can also feel overwhelming, with many people struggling with feelings of greed, despair, and agitation.
This guide explores the challenges living in the 21st century poses to our mental wellbeing, examining themes such as our relationship to news media, love and sex, money and careers, and our attitudes towards animals and the natural world. By understanding how we got to where we are and digging into the history of ideas, this book helps us form a calmer, more authentic, and resilient relationship with the complexities of modern life.
