Emily Esfahani Smith Bücher

Was ist wahres Glück? Emily Esfahani Smith verdeutlicht, dass wir dem falschen Ziel hinterherjagen. Nicht Glück macht das Leben lebenswert, sondern ein tieferer Sinn. Gestützt auf Erkenntnisse der Psychologie, Philosophie und Literatur sowie Geschichten von Menschen, die ein erfülltes Leben führen, beschreibt sie die vier Säulen des Sinns: sich zugehörig fühlen, die eigene Bestimmung finden, die Welt durch Geschichten verstehen und sich als Teil eines größeren Ganzen erfahren. Ihre kluge Analyse zeigt, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Dieses Buch erschien 2018 als Hardcover unter dem Titel »Glück allein macht keinen Sinn« im Mosaik Verlag.

There is a persistent myth in our culture that in order to lead a fulfilling life we must pursue happiness at all times. In her groundbreaking work, Emily Esfahani Smith explains that it is actually the search for meaning that will bring fulfilment. She argues that meaning is all around us in vast untapped resources, and that the key is finding it in the right here, right now. Her inspiring TED Talk on the same topic has been viewed over a million times. To explore how we can change our lives for the better, she draws on the latest research in psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, as well as insights from figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and the Buddha. She shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery, can immeasurably deepen our lives. To do this she visits remarkable people and places, such as a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and a drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit. She explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning
