Produktbeschreibung
Modern life is an accelerated life. If you want to live it, don't stop moving, don't stop improving yourself and being happier every day. That's what we've been told, but the truth is that these demands are paid for with stress, burnout, depression and a slow transformation of our social relationships into forms of business. Svend Brinkmann doesn't have the solution to any of this, but he knows a way out of the obsession with self-improvement: hit the brakes. In this ingenious study, the acclaimed Danish psychologist invites us to reject the mantras of self-help and encourages us to simply be ourselves. The secret of a good life lies not in finding a more profitable or happier self, but in serenely and stoically embracing our ways of being. With its exhortation to seek deceleration, this vibrant self-help anti-manual offers an alternative to coaching, positive thinking, and the everyday imperatives of self-realization.
