Herrschaft der Kindsköpfe – über das Unbehagen in Kultur und Politik. Gefühl ist Trumpf, Argumente stören, und Diskretion war gestern. Wir haben uns in eine Gesellschaft der Kindsköpfe verwandelt, das infantile Prinzip herrscht: Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt der bekannte Publizist Alexander Kissler in seinem neuen Buch. Erwachsene verhalten sich lustvoll wie Kinder, sind es aber längst nicht mehr. Sie reden auf Teletubbies-Niveau, schicken Emojis in die Datenumlaufbahn oder schwärmen hemmungslos für Greta & Co. Sie spielen Meerjungfrau, Teddybär und Peter Pan und finden nichts dabei.

How we think, act and interact is influenced by our early years, yet most people don't know the key findings from the juiciest child development studies that can give us insight into our adult selves.

„Krisen gehören nun mal zum Leben.“ Wirklich?

Geburt, Pubertät, Berufseinstieg, Familiengründung usw., all das sind potenzielle Auslöser für Krisen in unserer sich immer schneller drehenden Welt. Oft klammert man sich an vermeintlich Sicheres, wehrt sich gegen unausweichliche Veränderungen – und verpasst den Entschluss, mutig selbst den nächsten Schritt zu tun.

Sometimes slowly, like a change in hair color to shades of gray or shades of bald. Whether quickly or slowly, there are always surprises. Some pleasant, some painful. The joy or sadness of growing old usually rests with our perception and expectations.
