Despite the extraordinary technological progress and the remarkable increase in per capita income, in this postmodern, materialist, hyper-consumerist and hyper-competitive world persists high levels of dissatisfaction, since most people seek to satisfy their main needs through consumption, possession of goods and entertainment, neglecting their religious essence and the spiritual-religious objectives that prevailed in other ages. This is closely related to the neglect of fundamental needs and the denial of the meaning of life.

Moreover, considering the complex human nature and the harsh reality of life, this time is characterized by the phenomenon of dissatisfaction (whether temporary or chronic), which is difficult to face, mitigate and overcome.

Obviously, dissatisfaction is a permanent problem that must be overcome (human beings live in a continuous cycle of need-achievement-need), in order to lead an exemplary and satisfactory life, improve well-being and fulfill happiness.
