This video explores the psychology behind what's often labeled as "man child" behavior or Peter Pan syndrome, a phenomenon where men refuse to work or engage with conventional expectations around jobs and work life. We examine the deeper patterns of human behavior driving this anti-work movement (through insights from the r/antiwork subreddit), from learned helplessness to the crisis of meaning that Viktor Frankl warned about.

Whether it's the appeal of work from home lifestyles or the belief that the system is rigged against both rich and poor alike, the puer aeternus archetype reveals something fundamental about modern work culture. Through psychological analysis, we decode why some men feel locked out of meaningful participation and how this connects to broader questions about purpose, autonomy, and what we owe to society.

💡 There is no shame here, only analysis, we want everyone to succeed. Thus, the path to growth begins with awareness and an open dialogue.
