Abstract
In today’s world, where technology and modernity rapidly change our lives, understanding the role of religion and spirituality is more important than ever. In my study, I explore the vital connection between experience, religion, and the pursuit of true peace in our modern era. My study delves into how our daily interactions with technology, design, and consumer culture influence our spiritual lives. I discuss how religious practices and spiritual beliefs can be integrated into modern living to foster a sense of peace and harmony. Drawing on my background in design strategy and user behavior, I explore how design thinking can enhance religious experiences, making them more relevant in today’s fast-paced world. I also share how our understanding of religion is shaped by cognitive biases and social behaviors, and how this understanding can lead to more inclusive and collaborative communities and present case studies and theoretical frameworks showing how religious and spiritual practices can positively impact mental well-being and social harmony. The goal is to offer a fresh perspective on how spirituality can be a powerful tool for personal peace and societal harmony in our complex, modern world. Let’s explore these intriguing intersections of faith, experience, and peace in the contemporary landscape. faith, experience, and peace in the contemporary landscape.
