Die Kunst, gut zu sein

Being good starts with little things and makes our lives brighter. We are experiencing a time of crises that unsettle us, threaten our personal beliefs, and make it increasingly difficult to hold on to inner peace and personal happiness. However, to be deeply and "untroubledly" happy, resilient against the great and small shocks from the outside: each of us carries the potential within. When we are good to ourselves and to others, in small ways but throughout our lives, we create this slow, secure happiness. Rebekka Reinhard shows what it means, how it works, and how fundamentally our lives are improved by kindness towards our fellow human beings. Without pathos, pragmatic and touching, demanding yet applicable to everyday life, she provides material for reflection and practical food for thought, drawing on the ideas of great thinkers from Erich Fromm to Hannah Arendt to Aristotle. Comfort, guidance, and inspiration for all who want to feel at home in the world again. As we read, we turn inward and find the source of resilience and contentment. A philosophical inspiration for being good – to others and to ourselves. Kindness, attitude, selfless decisions – what it means to be good, unaffected by the events in the world. The renowned philosopher and successful non-fiction author Rebekka Reinhard excels in the art of translating philosophical insights into our everyday lives.
