The Modern Man's Dilemma: Navigating Work and Personal Life

Associate Professor, Amity Business School, Amity University Lucknow, India

In today s fast-paced society, the modern man faces an intricate dilemma that centers on the precarious balance between professional obligations and personal fulfillment. As technology blurs the boundaries between work and home, many individuals experience the pervasive pressure to excel in their careers while simultaneously nurturing relationships and participating in leisure activities. This duality not only shapes their daily routines but also influences their mental health and overall well-being. The expectation to be constantly available and productive can lead to significant stress, raising questions about what constitutes a successful and satisfying life. Consequently, it becomes imperative to explore the socio-cultural factors that contribute to this dilemma and to identify strategies that can help individuals navigate the competing demands of work and personal life. Ultimately, understanding this modern challenge is crucial for fostering a healthier, more balanced existence in an increasingly demanding world.
