Knowledge for uncertain times

I have always been fascinated by how reverse psychology can help us when we are trying to achieve a goal. Sometimes I call it „ the law of the opposite. “ You know when you're trying to stay afloat, you sink, but as soon as you want to sink, you're pulled back up. Just try to hold your breath and you will exhale… It reminds me of an ancient and often neglected saying: “ Whoever wants to save his life will lose it. “

The book you are about to get your hands on explores the ways in which this regularity can be used in the quest for the sense of security and spiritual and intellectual certainty that perhaps all of us seek with the support of religion or philosophy. I am convinced that this topic is more relevant than ever in these times of uncertainty and fear. This book is based on the premise that uncertainty stems only from the struggle to establish fixed certainties, and that the only way to salvation and the maintenance of sanity surprisingly opens up only when we realize that we can never save ourselves anyway.
