"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." "The future is technology." "Anyone can do anything if they try." Sound familiar? These phrases sound reassuring, and that's precisely why they're so dangerous.

In this book, Danielle Fraser, a futurist and cultural narrative analyst, invites us to face reality: without pathos, without utopias, and without the infantile belief in universal recipes. She examines how popular clichés about constant growth, happiness as a goal, mandatory efficiency, and the magic of progress create false expectations, detach us from context, and block critical thinking. This is not a manifesto of cynicism. It is a call for a mature view of the world in which not everything will be perfect, but much depends on sobriety, flexibility, and the ability to think outside the box.
