Making sense of, and finding calm in, unsteady times. A guide that
explores the challenges living in the 21st century can pose to our
mental wellbeing
The modern world has brought us a range of extraordinary benefits
and joys, including technology, medicine and transport. But it can
also feel as though modern times have plunged us ever deeper into
greed, despair and agitation. Seldom has the world felt more
privileged and resource-rich yet also worried, blinkered, furious,
panicked and self-absorbed
How to Survive the Modern World is the ultimate guide to
navigating our unusual times. It identifies a range of themes that
present acute challenges to our mental wellbeing. The book tackles
our relationship to the news media, our ideas of love and sex, our
assumptions about money and our careers, our attitudes to animals
and the natural world, our admiration for science and technology,
our belief in individualism and secularism – and our suspicion of
quiet and solitude. In all cases, the book helps us to understand
how we got to where we are, digging deeply and fascinatingly into
the history of ideas, while pointing us towards a saner individual
and collective future
The emphasis isn’t just on understanding modern times but also on
knowing how we can best relate to the difficulties these present.
The book helps us to form a calmer, more authentic, more resilient
and sometimes more light-hearted relationship to the follies and
obsessions of our age. If modern times are (in part) something of a
disease, this is both the diagnostic and the soothing, hope-filled
cure
