The author argues that the current pace of technological progress is too fast and people cannot keep up with it, leading to feelings of inadequacy and frustration. He suggests that we need to develop a personal paradigm for understanding and adapting to technological change in order to preserve our sanity and sense of self-worth. The book "Toxic Muddles: How to Put People with Inflated Self-Importance in Their Place and Preserve Sanity" by Рамани Дурвасула is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of technology on human psychology and society. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological progress has left many individuals feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and frustrated, leading to a rise in toxic behaviors such as inflated self-importance. To combat this trend, the author proposes the development of a personal paradigm for understanding and adapting to technological change, which he believes will help individuals preserve their sanity and sense of self-worth. The book begins by examining the historical context of technological evolution and its impact on human society. The author highlights how technological advancements have transformed the way we live, work, and communicate, but also notes that these changes have not always been positive. For example, the proliferation of social media has led to increased feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression, while the rise of e-commerce has created new challenges for small businesses and local communities. The author argues that these developments have contributed to an overall sense of disorientation and disconnection among people, which can manifest as inflated self-importance.
