Produktbeschreibung
We are in an age of overlapping crises: Corona pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, rising inflation rates, worsening climate change, gas shortages. How should we deal with these crises? How can we decide what is true, what actions are effective and justified, and what is moral? Where do we fall victim to "fake news" and where do populists exploit people's fear? In these confusing times, distrust in politics is growing. The fairness of the economy is doubted and the independence of science is questioned. Through in-depth insights into the performance of science and the intuitive perception of complex interrelationships, the author illustrates ways out of overwhelm, fear and uncertainty. In addition, this book aims to inspire more confidence in one's own ability to shape collective challenges.

Rezensionen
Die zehn abschließenden, imperativisch formulierten und recht ausführlich erläuterten Empfehlungen zum Umgang mit Wissen, Medien und Politik unterstreichen den orientierenden und handlungsleitenden Anspruch des Buches. Es stellt einleuchtend dar, inwiefern in der gegenwärtigen Krise politisch-strukturelle, individualpsychologische und gruppendynamische Herausforderungen miteinander verwoben sind und gemeinsam angegangen werden sollten.
