Unglücklich sein

A book that encourages giving space to unhappiness and offers comforting insights. It seems that everything has been said about happiness. But what about unhappiness? In the extensive debate about happiness, the darker sides of happiness have been somewhat forgotten. Instead, a new kind of obligation has emerged: the obligation to be happy. The stress that arises from this obligation does not make many people happier. And what about all those who can only dream of happiness? Wilhelm Schmid takes a critical stance on the happiness debate, to which he contributed in 2007 with his bestseller "Happiness," claiming that happiness is not the most important thing in life. Now, he seeks to redeem unhappiness and shows ways to cope with it better.
