Description
Instead of constantly optimizing, the book asks when letting go is sensible. Personally and socially critically, it connects questions of life, finiteness, and the search for a more conscious, decelerated life. An event in cooperation with endlich. menschlich.

Stiftung Zukunftsfähigkeit and the Norbert-Elias-Center for Transformation Design at the Europa-University Flensburg. Among his publications are: "Perpetrator. How ordinary people become mass murderers," "Climate Wars. What is killed for in the 21st century," "Everything could be different. A societal utopia for free people," "Obituary for myself. The culture of stopping," and – together with Richard David Precht – "The Fourth Power. How majority opinion is made, even when it isn't." His books have been published in 21 countries.
