Why do people in modern society experience more stress than in the past? Has social media become a contributing factor to rising levels of depression? Furthermore, how has this new social landscape affected interpersonal relationships? The concept of "burnout society" by Byung-Chul Han may provide valuable insights through a philosophical critique of our cultural context.
