Radost - O objevování lehkosti – Köckritzová Angela (2023)

It's a hot summer day. I slowly immerse myself in the water. A pleasant chill envelops my body, and I can only sense the smell of algae and the forest pond. Just a few strokes and I lose track of time. I suddenly feel so light. I turn on my back and let myself be carried. I watch the azure sky and the treetops swaying in the gentle breeze that carries the sounds of summer along the shore. The cheerful laughter of children, the rhythmic music of teenagers having fun, the splashing of water. I lazily squint towards the shore, which is dotted with umbrellas and towels. People have left their worries at the gates of nature and are now enjoying the bliss of doing nothing. The longer I thought about joy, the more I longed to explore it. To map it like an unknown land. What happens in the brain when we rejoice? How does our body respond to these processes? How does joy change throughout life? What is this feeling, what evokes it, and how do people celebrate it in different cultures? This book is a journey into an irresistible land. A land of joy. A great gift for anyone who longs for the beautiful pages of life.
