Overview

A sharp psychological and social critique of modern life's invisible constraints. This book reframes burnout, anxiety, and overthinking as intelligent adaptations to structural pressure - not personal failures. The Prison You Learned to Live In is not a self-help book. It is a structural reckoning. The modern world does not need bars. It produces functional prisoners. Not through chains - but through internalized surveillance, compulsory masking, moralized productivity, fractured attention, and a nervous system trained for compliance. If you feel exhausted but ""fine."" If rest feels illegal. If meditation makes you more aware of tension instead of calmer. If you function well but something feels quietly wrong. This book is not here to fix you. It names the architecture. Mental illness, burnout, dissociation, overthinking, numbness, and chronic anxiety are not always personal defects. Often, they are proportional responses to conditions that demand constant self-regulation without offering safety. You were not broken. You adapted. Through sharp psychological clarity and restrained philosophical insight, NONAME NOFACE dismantles the hidden structures shaping modern distress: - The External Prison - economic coercion, surveillance culture, performance-based worth - The Internal Prison - self-monitoring, masking, guilt in solitude - The Interpretive Prison - diagnoses without context, spiritual bypass, productivity psychology This book does not offer coping strategies. It does not promise healing. It does not optimize your performance. It restores proportion. You will not leave ""better."" You will leave less confused. For readers of critical psychology, social theory, modern burnout literature, and those questioning productivity culture, The Prison You Learned to Live In offers something rare: Clarity without ideology. Awareness without moralism. Presence without performance. This is not about escaping the world. It is about seeing it clearly enough to stop mistaking endurance for virtue. Truth is not enlightenment. Truth is the moment the bars become visible.
