The general neurosis of our times
It is a phenomenon discussed by Carl Jung and is characterized by the absurdity and emptiness of our lives, in the absence of any visible clinical symptoms. And it is all related to the "comfort" of the era we live in.
Possible causes: having more time to overthink; the lack of meaning in our lives and the difficulty of finding our true essence; we are disconnected from nature; we look for outside heroes and lack the ability to take responsibility.

Living with purpose and vitality
- Let go of the idea of how your life is "supposed to be". Change strategy, even it means you have to face the unknown.
- Embrace your struggles and use them as a fuel for your new life.
- Stop the autopilot mode and be aware and present in every action you are doing.
- Be smart about your finances. Also, invest more in experiences and less in material things.
- Reconnect with nature.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
