Leon Windscheid communicates the latest scientific findings from the field of psychology. The author counters the current mania for positive thinking with a more measured approach.

Did you know that your feelings have a second home in your gut? That shame has a connecting element and fear does not need to be conquered, but captured? Society demands too much from us humans. In order to survive, we are now panting after an optimized vision of ourselves, says psychologist Leon Windscheid. More people than ever before are mentally ill, overwhelmed or burnt out – being human has become emotionally stressful. The solution is not to look for happiness, but to turn to the feelings that have been suppressed in today's world of optimization or hardly have any place in our fast-paced everyday life: boredom, fear, shame, anger.

The psychologist Dr Leon Windscheid sheds new light on our very variable world of emotions. Using surprising scientific findings from new research and insights from thousands of years of human history, Windscheid shows how we can find ourselves and each other in these fast-moving times – and why the unwelcome feelings play a decisive role in this process.
