The current education system spends over 20–25 years of an individual’s life preparing them for careers but fails to prepare them for life . It emphasizes ambition, competition, and validation while neglecting essential life Education, Self- Knowing and self-awareness.
The result? A world plagued by loneliness, violence, mental health issues, and feeling unfulfilled, disconnected, and ill-equipped to handle the complexities of life.
Shocking statistics reveal the crisis:
Over 77% of people globally suffer from stress due to lack of self-awareness and life education.
Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are rampant, with 300 million people globally affected by depression.
83% of young people feel their lives lack purpose, leading to loneliness, hatred, and societal violence.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 15–29, often stemming from feelings of loneliness and purposelessness.
70% of graduates feel unprepared for real-life challenges, despite years of formal education.
Over 82% of employees feel burned out, leading to dissatisfaction in life and work because of Lack of self knowledge.
Why Life Education & Spirituality Are Essential
Self-Knowledge: Life Education encourages self-exploration and self-understanding, which form the foundation for a fulfilling and balanced life.
Spirituality: Spirituality and self-observation help combat depression, anxiety, and stress, which are at all-time highs globally.
Meaningful Living: By understanding oneself, individuals can lead lives aligned with their inner calling by creating a sense of purpose and happiness.
Conflict Resolution: Life Education fosters mindfulness and emotional intelligence, reducing conflicts in relationships and society.
Empathy and Compassion: It cultivates love and understanding, essential for creating a harmonious and peaceful society.
Holistic Development: Spiritual practices such as meditation, self-observation, and mindfulness help individuals grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Without Life Education, individuals become "artificial human beings," consumed by ambition, competition, and emptiness.
