What factors contribute to the Western youth revolt and the interest in Eastern religion and philosophy among young people?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"The revolt of Western youth is a natural response to the suffocating rationality of modern life, seeking the freedom of the irrational and the depth of experience found in Eastern philosophies. In the face of affluence and boredom, they turn to meditation and spirituality as a path to true balance and awakening"

Too much thinking, tech, and wealth makes kids bored, so they look for the opposite—silence, feeling, and meaning—in Eastern meditation and wisdom.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you balance head and heart instead of swinging to extremes.
- Suggests meditation to counter overload, stress, and emptiness.
- Explains disillusionment with affluence, guiding wiser choices beyond consumption.
