Age of the Tantrum

We live in a time when outrage travels faster than truth, volume is mistaken for virtue, and emotional reflex has replaced moral reflection.

The Age of the Tantrum is a collection of philosophical essays examining how modern culture—shaped by technology, tribalism, and performative certainty—has drifted away from wisdom, humility, and restraint. Rather than arguing from ideology, the book asks deeper questions:
What happens when a society loses the ability to pause, reflect, and listen?
What replaces courage when conformity becomes safer than conscience?
And how did adulthood itself become optional?

Drawing on history, psychology, faith, and lived experience, these essays explore themes of moral erosion, collective immaturity, and the quiet cost of surrendering personal responsibility. Yet this is not a book of despair. Beneath its critique is a steady insistence that renewal is still possible—through truth spoken calmly, courage practiced quietly, and character formed when no one is watching.

Written in a reflective, lyrical style, The Age of the Tantrum invites readers to step out of the noise, resist the pull of reactionary thinking, and rediscover the discipline of thoughtful adulthood.

This book is for readers who feel something is deeply off in the modern moment—but still believe clarity, conscience, and hope are worth defending.
