Civilization and Its Discontents is a book by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis.

It was written in 1929 and explores what Freud sees as the important clash between the desire for individuality and the expectations of society.

The book is considered one of Freud's most important and widely read works, and one of the most influential and studied books in the field of modern psychology.

This book has been carefully adapted in to modern English to allow for easy listening.

Enjoy!

Freud's utdated thinking is rendered here in crisp modern English. His thoughts on this topic does not serve the modern mind (unless one is a psycho analysis devotee).

This book is read very well.
