About this audiobook
What happens when human connection becomes a transaction?
In TRANSACTIONAL, the eighth instalment of the DECIMA series, Hamdi Bonin examines how modern society has transformed attention, validation, intimacy and access into currencies of exchange.
Across 36 chapters, explore the rise of transactional relationships, social media influence, performative identities, hidden agreements, digital validation, entitlement and the growing crisis of trust.
Discover how technology, status, financial incentives and the pursuit of external approval influence relationships and personal identity.
Through behavioural analysis and systems thinking, Bonin challenges listeners to recognise the difference between genuine connection and calculated exchange.
Learn to identify unhealthy dynamics, question social conditioning and develop greater awareness, discernment and personal independence.
Respect the game. Protect your peace. Build your sovereignty.
