« La sociedad del cansancio » puede considerarse una de las obras más emblemáticas de Byung-Chul Han. En ella, con una visión casi profética, se presentan los grandes temas que el filósofo surcoreano desarrollaría luego durante más de una década, alcanzando celebridad mundial.

Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences – ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history’s most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones.

Unsere bürgerliche Gesellschaft ist einem Zangenangriff auf die Normalität ausgesetzt – nämlich einmal durch die "Wokeness" der Kulturrevolutionäre und zum andern durch den Alarmismus der politisch-medialen Elite. Die Wokeness stellt das Verhältnis von normal und pathologisch auf den Kopf. Der Alarmismus stellt das Verhältnis von normal und extrem auf den Kopf. Das, was früher als Neurose betrachtet wurde, soll jetzt als selbstbestimmter Lebensentwurf anerkannt werden.

Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.
