Do Not Exceed the Boundaries of Contentment is an essay collection compiled from newspaper articles by Mustafa Kutlu, offering a Sufi perspective on contemporary social issues. Published in 2025 by Dergâh Yayınları, the book presents readers with a perspective grounded in the "economy of contentment" and advocates for a simple way of life.

Subject and Content

The book draws attention to the problems brought about by a consumer-driven industrial society. Kutlu emphasizes the importance of simplicity, moral order, and intention. Beginning with the principle that "Actions are judged by intentions," he argues that individual will and small but determined steps can contribute to social transformation.

Themes

  • Economy of Contentment: The pursuit of inner richness and social balance through minimalist living is explored.
  • Intention and Will: The spiritual implications of transforming small intentions into action are examined.
  • Critique of Consumer Society: Advice is offered against the frenzy of industrial consumption.
  • Awake to Stimuli: A call is made to remain alert against the "nightmares" of life.

Narrative and Style

Kutlu’s language combines a gentle Sufi discourse with social analysis. Experiences and moral teachings are presented in a clear and flowing style. The text aims to connect with everyday life while fostering spiritual awareness.
