Modern Self

In a world that rewards conformity, punishes male boundaries, and calls stoicism a disease, some men have chosen a different path.

"Who am I becoming?" That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty.

You’ve been sold a story: That if you meditate hard enough, chant the right mantras, or follow the right guru, you’ll finally arrive — at peace, at bliss, at some glittering finish line called “enlightenment.” You’ve been told that ego is the enemy, that suffering can be transcended, that awakening is just a retreat, a breathwork session, or a plant medicine ceremony away. This book calls bullshit. I call bullshit. The Lie of Enlightenment: The Myth of Modern Spirituality is not another self-help guide wrapped in Sanskrit.

This book isn’t a self-help manual. It’s a mirror—sharpened into a blade. Being Social Is Making You Dumber is a ruthless dissection of the smiling, nodding, performative version of modern life.

That fitting in is maturity. That playing well with others is wisdom. It’s not. It’s erosion. Every handshake you fake, every opinion you echo, every party you endure in silence builds the invisible prison you ...
