Das Leben verstehen

Our time requires a philosophy that addresses both the small and large questions of life: What significance do touches, habits, longings, and beauty have? What is happiness? Does one's own life, or life in general, have a meaning? What purpose does work serve? How can one find direction in life? How should we deal with anger, life crises, disappointments, pain, illness, and death? A philosopher can analyze life situations and suggest possible answers. Philosophy becomes a support for life through the continuous reorientation of life with the help of thought. Wilhelm Schmid, a bestselling author, was able to test his ideas for a new foundation of a philosophical art of living over ten years in a hospital near Zurich. He discovered how important the mere act of discussing all that occupies people is for them.
