About this listen

You didn’t ask to be born. But here you are. Awake, alive, and trying to make sense of a body that breaks, a brain that spirals, and a world that doesn’t know what to do with either. The Human Condition isn't self-help or philosophy. It’s a mirror. One that doesn’t flinch. JJ takes you on a journey through what it actually means to be human. Not the polished version, but the real thing: hunger, shame, love, pain, identity, grief, desire, numbness, meaning, and death. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding the machine you’ve been living inside your whole life. This is the book for anyone who’s ever whispered: “Is it just me?” It’s not.
