About cheerfulness in difficult times and the question of how important the seriousness of life is

"Life is serious, art is cheerful," Friedrich Schiller already knew. But what is cheerfulness, actually? And how do we bring it back into our serious lives? In times when we instinctively feel otherwise, Axel Hacke sets out to rediscover a nearly forgotten state of mind. He soon realizes that cheerfulness is much more than that. Entertaining, insightful, and personal, he explains why cheerfulness is a philosophy of life, what distinguishes it from humor, and why it can sometimes require effort. He reveals how to become a cheerful person in this insightful audiobook.
