When you read this book, you’ve taken the first step on the way towards happiness … This book is indispensable.

When you read this book, you’ve taken the first step on the way towards happiness … This book is indispensable. * Elke Heidenreich, Lesen! *A sweeping guide for getting to the bottom of things - for searching for answers and critically examining those answers. In short: narrated philosophy. * buchjournal *Precht’s rhetorically fine train of thought ranges beyond a spirit of the time and traverses its own limits. He poses systematic questions pertaining to everyday life. He casts a net of philosophical insights, scientific discoveries, and political events that broadens the perspective of the total human phenomenon. * West German Broadcasting (WDR) *A good introduction to some pretty big ideas. * Big Issue *I found myself getting sucked into this book. * Evening Standard *Precht offers a uniquely enriching and thought-provoking experience. * Good Book Guide *
