A sound society

The book offers a profound analysis of how societal structures influence individual well-being. I'm curious about what motivated Fromm to focus on this intersection.

Fromm's insights into how consumerism shapes our identity felt both obvious and unsettling. How did others feel about his views on materialism and happiness?

Given the rise of social media and digital life, I'm wondering if the pressures to conform have intensified or changed in nature since the book was written.
