Prologue

Throughout my early career as a social scientist, I have delved deep into the realm of social networks and community-based solutions to tackle complex problems. Along this path, I often ask a fundamental question: What do I want? This question has permeated every aspect of my life, from my academic research to my relationships with the community and personal relationships.

As I embarked on my academic research journey, personal desires and aspirations became a central focus. This question fueled my research and ultimately became the driving force behind this book. However, answering this question proved to be a complex endeavour, especially in a rapidly changing world, where individuals face ever-evolving roles and responsibilities within their tribes, families, and communities.

In this book, I delve into the depths of this question, urging readers to be the best versions of themselves. Personal empowerment is essential for becoming active contributors to the networks and communities that lie at the heart of a well-functioning society in the 21st century. However, we face the challenge of navigating new relationships with people and technology in this modern landscape, making answering What do I want? more difficult than ever.

Through my research, I strive to unravel the intricacies of human interactions and their impact on society. I explore the complex interplay between individual desires and community well-being, seeking innovative approaches to address our complex problems. My work is driven by a deep passion for understanding the dynamics of modern relationships and finding novel solutions.

With an unwavering commitment to personal growth and self-improvement, I implore individuals to embrace the journey of self-discovery. By doing so, we can realize our potential and contribute actively to our families, partners, and communities. I emphasize the need for resilience and intention as we navigate the uncharted territories of our relationships with technology and the changing dynamics of human connections.

Through my doctoral journey research and thought-provoking insights, I hope to inspire others to embark on their paths of self-discovery. By empowering individuals to become the best versions of themselves, we can foster thriving networks and interconnected communities, ultimately creating a functional and harmonious society in the 21st century.

Introduction

The only journey is the one within. - Rainer Maria Rilke

Welcome to Pathways to Self: Unraveling What You Truly Want in Today's World. This book begins with a simple question that may be as old as humanity: What do I want? It's a question that may seem straightforward, but it reveals its complexity and depth upon closer examination. This question invites us to journey into the core of who we are and what we aspire to be. It challenges us to be honest, confront our fears, question our assumptions, and explore the often-uncharted terrain of our deepest desires.

In today's world, the question of what we truly want is often obscured by the noise of societal expectations, cultural norms, and the pressures of modern life. We are surrounded by messages about what we should want—career success, material wealth, romantic relationships, social status, physical beauty, and more. But how often do we pause to ask ourselves whether these are the things we genuinely desire or what we've been conditioned to strive for? This book is designed to help you cut through the noise, navigate the complexities of this essential question, and uncover your unique answers.

The truth is, understanding what we truly want is about more than just figuring out our personal or professional goals. It's about aligning our lives with our deepest values, forging meaningful relationships, pursuing our
