But given the many crises of our time, many people find this difficult or even seem inappropriate. In his new bestseller "On Cheerfulness," the award-winning columnist and author Axel Hacke reflects on how to create a tender distance from oneself and the world that leaves room for relaxation. For Hacke, cheerfulness is not to be confused with roaring laughter, telling jokes, and slapping one's thighs. Rather, he is concerned with an attitude of serenity, as was already praised in ancient philosophy as a means of the art of living, and with the insight that people are all the same in their efforts to get through life. "Sternstunde Philosophie" asks how one can remain cheerful without making fun of everything, and take the heaviness out of life without slipping into cynicism. It turns out that things can actually continue cheerfully.
