Read The Misanthrope and Other Plays (Such Preposterously Precious Ladies, Tartuffe, A Doctor Despite Himself, The Would-be Gentleman, Those Learned Ladies) by Jean-Baptiste Moliere. Skewering hypocrisy, Molière's razor-sharp satires expose how social pretense enslaves the soul - from fake intellectuals to religious frauds. His radical insight? True authenticity requires embracing our natural flaws rather than performing perfection. In an era of carefully curated personas, his 400-year-old plays cut deeper than ever.
