A beautifully written exploration of how the way we pursue happiness makes us unhappy. We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet everywhere we see signs that our pursuit of happiness has proven fruitless. Dissatisfied, we seek change for the sake of change—even if it means undermining the foundations of our common life. In Why We Are Restless, Benjamin and Jenna Storey offer a profound and beautiful reflection on the roots of this malaise and examine how we might begin to cure ourselves. Drawing on the insights of Montaigne, Pascal, Rousseau, and Tocqueville, Why We Are Restless explores the modern vision of happiness that leads us on, and the disquiet that follows it like a lengthening shadow. In the sixteenth century, Montaigne articulated an original vision of human life that inspired people to see themselves as individuals dedicated to seeking contentment in the here and now, but Pascal argued that that we cannot find happiness through pleasant self-seeking, only anguished God-seeking. Rousseau later tried and failed to rescue Montaigne’s worldliness from Pascal’s attack. Steeped in these debates, Tocqueville visited the United States in 1831 and, observing a people “restless in the midst of their well-being,” discovered what happens when an entire nation seeks worldly contentment—and finds mostly discontent. Arguing that the philosophy we have inherited, despite pretending to let us live as we please, produces remarkably homogenous and unhappy lives, Why We Are Restless makes the case that finding true contentment requires rethinking our most basic assumptions about happiness.

F.M. BoonGeheel vernieuwde editie van een twintig jaar geleden voor het eerst uitgebracht basisboek over rouw, verlies en verdriet. De Vlaamse auteur (1946), emeritus hoogleraar, is klinisch psycholoog. Hij studeerde medico-sociale wetenschappen en was onder meer directeur Patiëntenbegeleiding van de Universitaire Ziekenhuizen in Leuven. Hij is een autoriteit op het gebied van rouwverwerking en palliatieve zorg en veelgevraagd spreker in Nederland en België. Deze heruitgave met heldere indeling en uitgebreide literatuurlijst is opnieuw een zeer rijk handboek, nu ook met aandacht voor thema's als verborgen verlies en online rouwen. De talrijke sprekende en helder beargumenteerde voorbeelden tonen dat rouwen niet moet worden gelijkgesteld met 'verwerken' en afscheid nemen, maar aan anders leren vasthouden. Gaat ook in op rouwsituaties anders dan door overlijden en geeft vele heldere tips voor rouwenden én hun omgeving. Meesterlijk leerzaam, verrijkend en praktisch boek voor een ieder die of regelmatig of incidenteel met rouw en verlies wordt geconfronteerd.© NBD Biblion

Veel ouders willen hun kind behoeden voor pijn en verdriet. Dat is een erg begrijpelijke reflex, maar helaas kun je niet vermijden dat kinderen en jongeren vroeg of laat met verlies worden geconfronteerd. De dood van een dierbare, een ernstige ziekte in de familie, een echtscheiding, een nieuwe school... Het zijn allemaal momenten waarop een kind afscheid moet nemen van het bekende.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/kinderen-helpen-bij-verlies-9789401465410
