For a long time we have recognised that the apparently unstoppable climate changes and
disturbances of nature the intensification in the rift between rich and poor as well as the
increasing unrest and migrant streams are indicative of a global state of emergency.
Furthermore the new risks to our health for example due to multi-resistant microorganisms
allergies or cancer are causing us concern. What can I still eat whom can I still trust and
where will it all end? In the face of these problems many of us are overwhelmed by feelings of
helplessness and powerlessness. How could we even find ourselves in such a situation? How can
we overcome the paralysis indifference and resignation? Every individual has the power to
change something because the economy and politics are dependent on mankind and not vice versa.
An exciting analysis of the psychological and social backgrounds allows us to better understand
the situation and introduces us to the concrete steps that each of us can take to free
ourselves of this feeling of powerlessness.
