We live in an era where everything is increasing at a rapid pace. But what happens when we forget about moderation? Thomas Vogel shows why a millennia-old virtue is more relevant today than ever before as a solution to environmental, social, and personal crises.
This new, fully revised and expanded edition addresses the dramatic developments of recent years and deepens our focus on a more conscious approach to nature, society, and ourselves.A new chapter offers practical guidance: How do we find our balance in a culture of excess? How can we achieve a balance between self-control and joy in life?
This book invites you to stop and reconsider your lifestyle. Moderation is presented here not as a restriction, but as a key to freedom, contentment, and a sustainable future.
