The Temptation of the West

"The Temptation of the West" explores how Western countries, especially after their rise to global dominance, have faced a recurring allure to prioritize individualism, material wealth, and technological progress over communal values, tradition, and spiritual fulfillment. This mindset often leads to cultural shifts, ethical dilemmas, and social fragmentation, as societies grapple with balancing modernization and global influence against maintaining authentic cultural identities and moral principles. The book encourages reflection on whether this relentless pursuit of progress truly serves human well-being or if it risks undermining deeper societal and cultural foundations.
