The pace of modern life is accelerating. To keep up, we must keep
on moving and adapting constantly striving for greater happiness
and success. Or so we are told. But the demands of life in the fast
lane come at a price: stress, fatigue and depression are at an
all-time high, while our social interactions have become
increasingly self-serving and opportunistic. How can we resist
today's obsession with introspection and self-improvement? In this
witty and bestselling book, Danish philosopher and psychologist
Svend Brinkmann argues that we must not be afraid to reject the
self-help mantra and 'stand firm'. The secret to a happier life
lies not in finding your inner self but in coming to terms with
yourself in order to coexist peacefully with others. By encouraging
us to stand firm and get a foothold in life, this vibrant
anti-self-help guide offers a compelling alternative to life
coaching, positive thinking and the need always to say 'yes!'
