Listen Later

This powerful talk explores one of the most disturbing truths of modern life: we are not controlled by force, but by pleasure.

This message reveals how technology, entertainment, and consumer culture quietly hijack the human brain through dopamine, turning comfort into a form of control.

This reflection also explores how ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience offer a way out through discipline, meaning, presence, and conscious choice. Real freedom doesn’t come from more pleasure, but from reclaiming control over your mind, your energy, and your direction in life.
