Firstly, Generation Z are individuals born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, are coming of age in an era marked by rapid technological advancements, unprecedented global interconnectivity, and significant societal shifts. While these factors provide numerous opportunities, they also present unique challenges that can make it difficult for this generation to cultivate a life brimming with meaning and fulfillment.

Constant exposure to screens can lead to information fatigue, anxiety, and reduced attention spans. The pressure to always be connected can make it difficult for individuals to unplug and focus on more meaningful offline experiences.
