A sharp rise in the rates of mental illness, e.g. depression, and incidences of suicide, indicate we don\u2019t seem to be becoming happier, or any wiser, with time. Many young intelligent people, in their pursuit of knowing everything, lose the core objective of living the life itself. Alarmingly, many fall in love with artificial intelligence and live in a virtual world. Thanks to the internet and the social media, the actual face-to-face inter-human interaction is dwindling at a considerable rate.<\/p>\n<p>This book is about life and particularly targeted towards young adults, who: \u2022 Suffer from unhappiness; are disposed to mental depression, or have suicidal tendencies; \u2022 Believe in atheism or scientism, and challenge the existence of God and religions; \u2022 Are addicted to, or are suffering from the ill-effects of over-reliance on the artificial intelligence, internet and social media; or \u2022 Are trying to seek answers to the age-old core questions, such as, \u201cWhat is this world all about? Why I am here? What is the purpose of my life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This book is based on scientific studies and thoughts from various philosophers. It also presents the author\u2019s views on the God concept, the validity of religions and the myth of love. It gives useful tips on how parents can harden up and desensitise young people against stress so they can face life\u2019s challenges without buckling under; importance of socialisation and how to socialise; why one must be unselfish and live to a greater purpose of one\u2019s choice for being happy; and the benefits of meditation and physical exercise for one\u2019s mental health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[69,71,85],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11109","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-new-arrivals","7":"product_cat-non-fiction","8":"product_cat-self-help-wellness","9":"pa_book-author-bill-k-koul","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11109"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
