Navigating 'Shitty Human Syndrome'

This chapter delves into 'shitty human syndrome', a term that describes feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt prevalent among upper middle-class whites in America. The discussion touches on the societal pressures exacerbated by social media, the complexities of self-perception, and the contrasting views of happiness in WEIRD societies. Emphasizing the need for communal connections over individual pursuits, the chapter critiques the unrealistic expectations placed on individuals in their quest for happiness, particularly highlighted during the pandemic.
