Скачать или смотреть What Society Calls Success Is Actually Slavery | Alan Watts

You worked hard, climbed the ladder, got the promotion, bought the house, the car, achieved everything society told you to achieve. So why do you feel trapped? Why do you feel like you can't stop, can't slow down, can't get off the treadmill? Because what society calls success is actually a sophisticated form of slavery—golden handcuffs that you put on yourself and wear proudly while your life slips away .

In this profound teaching, Alan Watts dismantles the conventional definition of success and reveals the trap: you're trading your life—your only real currency—for symbols. A big house you're never in. A fancy car to impress people you don't like. A prestigious job title that means more hours, more stress, more of your precious time consumed. You think you're building wealth, but you're actually building a beautiful prison. You think you're getting ahead, but you're running on a treadmill that speeds up the more "successful" you become .

This video explores:
