structural or systemic factors, as Byung-Chul Han suggests, I find myself searching for the source of motivation to overcome such inherent, permanent, immovable barriers.

In fact, it suggests they can't be overcome, barring remarkable good fortune or favor.

This reads like an invitation to seeing yourself not in control of your destiny, but rather a permanent victim of your birth, but it doesn't offer consequences or guidance as to what that wonderful view allows one to do.

It's also an invitation to abandon pursuit of achievement, but it doesn't offer an alternative perspective, let alone a promise of happiness, contentment, fulfillment if one does abandon the pursuit.

I'm underwhelmed.
