OUR HUNGERS: why modern society is starving despite having more than ever

You are hungry.Not necessarily for food.You might be hungry for love and calling it independence.Hungry for belonging and calling it politics.Hungry for purpose and calling it success.Hungry for peace and calling it sleep.Hungry for God and calling it ambition.Across the world, people have more technology, more information, more convenience, and more ways to distract themselves than any generation in history. Yet loneliness is rising. Trust is declining. Anxiety is spreading. Communities are weakening. Millions feel connected to everyone and known by no one.Why?Because human beings do not live on bread alone.In Our Hungers, Jacob Tsunda Salihu takes readers on a deeply human journey through the needs that shape our lives, from food, love, and parenting to dignity, recognition, truth, hope, and faith. Drawing from psychology, sociology, history, public policy, and everyday life, he explores what happens when our deepest needs go unmet and the substitutes we reach for in their place.Insightful, thought-provoking, and occasionally amused by humanity's talent for solving the wrong problems, this book argues that many of the crises we face are not separate at all. They are different expressions of the same condition.We are hungry.The question is whether we know what we are hungry for.
