A Philosophical and Psychological Inquiry: Am I God, or Am I Just Too Perfect for This Society, or Am I Just Too Egoistic?
About this ebook
The essence of this book lies in understanding the nature of human self-perception. As individuals navigate the often turbulent waters of modern society, they encounter an array of psychological and social pressures that influence how they perceive themselves and their place in the world. This inquiry is not merely academic; it speaks to the lived experiences of many who grapple with the dissonance between societal expectations and personal aspirations.
In the introduction, we delve into the foundational concepts of self-validation, perfectionism, and narcissism, exploring how these themes intersect with various philosophical and religious perspectives. The contemporary landscape of individualism and the omnipresence of social media magnify these issues, creating a societal framework that encourages comparisons and often fosters feelings of inadequacy or superiority.
