What In God's Name Are We Doing?: A Modern Examination of Economics, Society, and Global Power Structures

What In God's Name Are We Doing? is a direct and uncompromising examination of modern society and the systems that shape our lives. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, lived experience, and practical observation, this book challenges the assumptions we take for granted about government, education, work, money, mental health, and our relationship with nature.

Rather than arguing from political allegiance or ideology, it asks a more fundamental question: how did we build a world that feels increasingly disconnected from purpose, meaning, and one another? The book explores how division, hierarchy, and the pursuit of money have come to dominate human life, often at the expense of quality, community, and well-being.

Moving beyond critique, it invites the reader to consider a different way forward—one rooted in cooperation, simplicity, durability, and respect for natural systems. Without calling for violence, revolution, or authority, it focuses on internal change, shared values, and practical shifts in how we live and build our world.

This book is for readers who are willing to question deeply held assumptions, think beyond partisan narratives, and ask what it would mean to live in alignment with purpose, responsibility, and love.
