Stand Firm

"Stand Firm" er den engelske udgave af Svend Brinkmans bestseller 'Stå Fast', der lærer os at stå fast selvom vores moderne verden prøver at tvinge os til at bevæge sig ligeså hurtigt som den selv. Vi lærer tidligt, at vi skal bevæge os hurtigt og udvikle os konstant for at kunne følge med og opnå succes og lykke. Svend Brinkman mener ikke, at dette er løsningen. Tværtimod fører det til stress, træthed og depression. Spørgsmålet er hvordan vi undgår den besættelse af selvudvikling, der bl.a. følger med moderne coaches, selvhjælpsbøger og lignende. I "Stand Firm" - en selvhjælpsbog mod selvhjælpsbøger giver Svend Brinkman dig de værktøjer, der skal til for at du lærer at stå fast og hvile i dig selv.

The pace of modern life is accelerating. To keep up, we must keep on moving and adapting – constantly striving for greater happiness and success. Or so we are told. But the demands of life in the fast lane come at a price: stress, fatigue and depression are at an all-time high, while our social interactions have become increasingly self-serving and opportunistic. How can we resist today's obsession with introspection and self-improvement? In this witty and bestselling book, Danish philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues that we must not be afraid to reject the self-help mantra and 'stand firm'. The secret to a happier life lies not in finding your inner self but in coming to terms with yourself in order to coexist peacefully with others. By encouraging us to stand firm and get a foothold in life, this vibrant anti-self-help guide offers a compelling alternative to life coaching, positive thinking and the need always to say 'yes!'
