About “Achtsam morden mit stoischer Gelassenheit (6)”
Björn Diemel is a man whose moments are constantly spoiled. Just when he feels fully present, some complete idiot appears and ruins everything. His relaxation coach Joschka Breitner teaches him an insight: inner peace does not depend on how others behave but comes from within.
The teaching comes from Stoicism, a philosophy that for roughly 2,000 years has seen the key to a happy life in one's own attitude. Björn reads Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epicurus and quickly notices that these thoughts help him deal with overbearing teachers, noisy fellow patients and other people who make his life difficult.
But then it gets serious for Björn. An old friendship comes back to life, and with it come obligations that will not be without consequences. How does one handle such commitments when one has just acquired the stoics' calm? The decision about what he will do is his.
The sixth volume of the Achtsam morden series combines black humor with philosophical reflections and makes readers wonder how much composure a person can muster before crossing the line.
