Why We Are Restless by David Storey
On the Modern Quest for Contentment
In this thought-provoking exploration of modern discontent, the narrative delves into the philosophical underpinnings of why contemporary society often finds itself in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction. Drawing on the insights of four French philosophers from the early modern period, the book examines how their ideas about happiness, fulfillment, and the human condition continue to resonate today. Through a blend of historical analysis and philosophical inquiry, it challenges readers to reflect on the nature of true contentment and the societal forces that shape our restless pursuit of it.
