Nicht WAS, sondern WIE man fragt, ist entscheidend: Der Schweizer Bestsellerautor Rolf Dobelli hat daraus eine kleine Lebenskunst der Selbstbefragung gemacht und provoziert mit seinen im ›stern‹ veröffentlichten Fragekolumnen zum Nachdenken. Spielerisch ironische Fragen zu Themen, die jeden betreffen – zu Glück, Liebe, Sex, sozialem Verhalten, Erfolg, Karriere, Alter, Gott und Tod.
Již od starověku, nejméně 2500 let, si lidé opakovaně kladli otázku po dobrém životě: Jak mám žít? Co je to dobrý život? Jakou roli hraje osud? Je dobrý život otázkou postoje, nebo jde spíše o dosažení životních cílů? Odpovědi jsou v podstatě vždy zklamáním. Proč? Svět je příliš komplikovaný na to, abychom ho mohli pochopit jednou velkou myšlenkou. K pochopení světa potřebujeme sadu mentálních modelů. Je načase sestavit si takovou sadu nástrojů i pro praktický život. Zde je 52 nástrojů, které vám nezaručí dobrý život, ale zvýší jeho pravděpodobnost.
Seit der Antike, also seit mindestens 2500 Jahren, aber vermutlich noch viel länger, haben sich Menschen immer wieder die Frage nach dem guten Leben gestellt: Wie soll ich leben? Was macht ein gutes Leben aus? Welche Rolle spielt das Schicksal? Welche Rolle spielt das Geld? Ist das gute Leben eine Sache der Einstellung, oder geht es vielmehr um das Erreichen von Lebenszielen? Ist es besser, nach Glück zu streben oder Unglück zu umschiffen? Jede Generation stellt sich diese Fragen neu. Die Antworten sind im Grunde stets enttäuschend. Warum? Weil man immer auf der Suche nach dem einen Prinzip ist, dem einen Grundsatz, der einen Regel. Doch diesen heiligen Gral des einfachen Weges gibt es nicht. Auf verschiedenen Gebieten fand in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine stille Revolution des Denkens statt. In den Wissenschaften, in der Politik, in der Medizin und in vielen anderen Bereichen hat man erkannt: Die Welt ist viel zu kompliziert, als dass wir sie mit einer großen Idee oder einer Handvoll Prinzipien erfassen könnten. Wir brauchen einen Werkzeugkasten von Mentalen Modellen, um die Welt zu verstehen. Es ist an der Zeit, einen solchen Werkzeugkasten auch für das praktische Leben zusammenzustellen. Voilà. Hier finden Sie 52 gedankliche Werkzeuge, die Ihnen ein gutes Leben zwar nicht garantieren, es aber wahrscheinlicher machen.
