Dr Carlo Strenger of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance:Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession (痴迷) ”.
“As humans,we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important’ people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.

“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.
