So paradox das in unserer konkurrenz- und wettbewerbsorientierten Gesellschaft erscheinen mag, die damit verbundenen Gef}hle von Rivalit{t, Neid und Eifersucht sind weitgehend tabuisiert. Und auch im Privatleben sch{men wir uns, wenn wir Neid oder Eifersucht f}hlen. Nur zu gern w}rden wir unsere emotionalen Regungen unterdr}cken, obwohl sie doch allgegenw{rtig sind. Wolfgang Rost und Angelika Schulz fragen in ihrem Buch: - Woher kommen Rivalit{t, Neid und Eifersucht? - Wie erleben wir diese Gef}hle? - Wann schaden und wann nutzen sie uns? - Wie k|nnen wir am besten mit ihnen umgehen? Sie machen Mut zu einem bewu~ten Umgang mit deneigenen Emotionen und zeigen, da~ es nicht n|tig ist, immer nett zu sein.
