Ich verwende mal das englische Wort, weil ich dafür irgendwie keine entsprechende deutsche Übersetzung finde (Freude ist es nicht ganz, Glück aber auch nicht wirklich etc.).
Das Buch diskutiert quasi die Frage, wo nach wie heutzutage alle suchen, warum so viele Menschen lieber über ihr Sexleben als über ihre "Happiness" reden würden (im deutschen vllt. ganz grob sowas wie "Bist du glücklich/zufrieden etc. mit deinem Leben?"). Es ist wirklich, wirklich klasse geschrieben und für alle die etwas Sinn zu dieser Lebensfrage suchen, kann ich es nur empfehlen (ist aber kein Selbsthilfebuch!).
Eine von amazon.com geklaute Rezension beschreibt das Ganze wie folgt:
"I don't know where to begin. The thesis of the book states that we are destined to seek freedom and justification in life, a that these two endeavors are forever at odds. It is not that simple, though. Marar addresses the need for all of us to be respected and loved in society and by individuals, and how perecived judgment can influence how we feel about ourselves. We look for worthy audiences, such as family and lovers, to validate us, while also seeking to strip them of their power to do so. For anyone who has ever thought "why am I doing this? Why do I live my life this way?", this book will articulate what you have suspected all along: we can't get to that place of feeling completely free from judgment and influence and also to a place of feeling justified/respected/validated by others because they are at odds. Such a balance does not exist. It is futile. Yet, we can't help it, we seek both simultaneously .......AWESOME. Marar describes his ideas in such a sharp and clear manner, drawing from a rich array of sources, that you feel very complete when you have finished each chapter. Good stuff."
Ein tolles Weihnachtsgeschenk!
