Beschreibung
I have always been fascinated by how reverse psychology can help us when we are trying to achieve a goal. Sometimes I call it the 'law of the opposite.' You know how when you try to stay afloat, you sink, but as soon as you want to sink, it pulls you back up. Just try to hold your breath, and you immediately exhale... It reminds me of an ancient and often overlooked saying: 'Whoever wants to save their life will lose it.' The book you have in your hands deals with the ways this principle can be utilized in the pursuit of a sense of security and the spiritual and intellectual certainties that, with support from religion or philosophy, each of us seeks. I am convinced that this topic is more relevant today in times of uncertainty and fear than ever before. This book is based on the premise that uncertainty arises solely from the desperate attempt to create fixed certainties, and that the only way to salvation and to maintain our sanity surprisingly opens up to us only when we realize that we can never truly save ourselves.
