About this listen
In Civilization and Its Discontents, Sigmund Freud delivers one of the most provocative examinations of modern life ever written. In this concise yet profound work, Freud explores the tension between our instinctual drives and the demands of society—arguing that the very structures that protect us also generate deep, unavoidable dissatisfaction.
Through reflections on happiness, guilt, repression, religion, and aggression, Freud asks unsettling questions: Why does progress fail to make us happy? What do we sacrifice to live together in peace? And is discontent the price of civilization itself?
This audiobook brings Freud’s ideas to life with clarity and intensity, making a cornerstone of psychoanalytic thought accessible to contemporary listeners. Ideal for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, culture, or the hidden forces shaping human behavior.
