The Sane Society

"The Sane Society," by Erich Fromm, explores how modern societies often prioritize material success, conformity, and technological progress at the expense of human well-being and genuine fulfillment. Fromm argues that societal values can alienate individuals from their true selves, leading to mental health issues and a sense of meaninglessness. He advocates for a shift toward a society that fosters personal growth, creativity, and meaningful relationships, emphasizing human compassion and authentic self-expression as essential for individual and societal well-being. The book encourages examining and restructuring societal norms to promote mental health and genuine happiness.
