We are living in desperate times: nature seems to go berserk, there's warfare everywhere, and the abyss separating the poor from the rich widens every day.

He also points out what every individual may do to escape from misery: liberating oneself from stifling traditions and conventions, and finding one's way back to naturalness and effortless action.
