Saddhakra explora los porques de la crisis no solo desde sus causas más obvias sino y sobre todo desde la perspectiva de aprender como funciona la mente humana y explora una salida que involucre un cambio que vaya mas allá del mero arreglo de las cosas fuera y nos cambien primero que nada a lo individuos para que podamos cambiar o al menos influir de la mejor manera posible el mundo.
