Introduction: The World Has Made You Mentally Weak

From the day you came out of your mother’s womb, the world has made you into weak, helpless individual.

If you’re reading this book, chances are you are living in a first world area reading this on your tablet, phone, computer, or - wait for it - a hard copy book (shocking I know). Though each of these technological items that may have improved our lives over the last few years, we have grown too dependent on them.

Think about it. Can you go one day, or even one hour, without looking at your phone? Can you drive anywhere without glancing at your phone? Can you go to dinner with your significant other without scrolling through Instagram?

If you said no to any of these questions, it is okay. You and I both are guilty of this, but this dependency on our technology, as well as other things, is killing our mental toughness.

Our first world luxuries of air conditioning, cars, food, TV, and comfortable chairs have become addictive and drug-like - without these even for a second, you start fidgeting and sweating, and maybe develop some depression.

Advertisements and salesmen are the main culprits of this proverbial addiction. They make you feel as if you desperately need that phone or that cheeseburger, using the fear of missing out. The crazy thing is, the majority of the world falls into their trap and it is honestly pretty pathetic.

Every day I hear people complaining about being starving and being without food for a little while. I hear people cry and moan about not sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a room that is too hot or too cold, and it drives me crazy! Every time I hear this rhetoric, I say to myself, stop crying and grow up!

Now, I’m not the toughest guy in the world. As stated before, I showing mental weakness as you are and I have a story to prove

Not bad but not as much about mental toughness as you'd think. Was looking for something a little more spartan.
