About this listen

Why does our society seem more disoriented than ever, despite progress, freedom, and prosperity? "Between Hubris & Fear: The Crisis of the Modern Self" ruthlessly exposes how the modern self is torn between self-aggrandizement and deep insecurity—and how central humanistic values such as decency, loyalty, responsibility, and morality are lost in the process.

This book is a passionate plea for a return to what defines our humanity. It analyzes, with clarity and philosophical depth, how egocentrism, moral arbitrariness, and collective fears are destabilizing our society. Instead of true freedom, we are experiencing an identity crisis—and with it the gradual disappearance of empathy, solidarity, and spirituality.
