Modern times have seen remarkable discoveries in the various sciences. These discoveries have revolutionized the lifestyles of people all over the world, with sophisticated gadgets being used for practically every activity. No wonder then that the present age is said to be the age of technology.
Yet a disconcerting undercurrent of emptiness pervades the entire society. Even individuals having the best of all that the modern world can offer – wealth, fame, prestige, the latest technological appliances, the maximum comforts – are prone to depression, stress, hypertension and even suicide, as is evident from statistical surveys in the prosperous Western countries, especially the US.
Intelligent thinkers worldwide have concluded that this state of affairs has resulted because man has neglected his inner self. Man has been extremely enthusiastic in trying to discover the world around him, but he has been almost equally averse to trying to discover the world within him. This imbalance has lead to a serious identity crisis; the modern man doesn’t know who he is and what the actual goal of his life is. When the very foundation of life – the individual’s understanding of his own self - is so shaky, the collapse of the individual and the society at large is natural and inevitable.
Discover Your Self will undoubtedly be a invaluable guide for all thoughtful people throughout the world; all the more so for the intelligent youth who are trying to discover life.
