Informal discussion: Burnout, ADHD and the Search for Meaning in Modern Society
Details
Many people today feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite living in a time of unprecedented comfort and opportunity.
In this first gathering of the Vienna Mind & Meaning Circle, we will explore the psychological and societal factors behind burnout, attention difficulties, and the growing search for meaning in modern life.
We will discuss questions such as:
- Why do so many people feel chronically exhausted?
- Why do so many people feel exhausted despite modern comfort?
- Is burnout mainly a personal problem or a societal one?
- What role does attention fragmentation (social media, multitasking) play?
- How does modern society shape attention and ADHD-like experiences?
- Why are so many people today searching for meaning?
- What role does meaning and purpose play in psychological well-being?
The event will begin with a short introduction followed by an open discussion where everyone is welcome to share ideas and perspectives.
This is not a lecture but a small discussion circle designed for thoughtful conversation.
No background in psychology is required - curiosity is enough.
This event will be limited to 13 people and the places will be given in a first come first serve basis.
