Finding Your Footing, One Laugh at a Time

For anyone who’d rather laugh than lose their mind

It’s maddening: The world is changing so fast that our souls can barely keep up. How do we cope with this? Eckart von Hirschhausen offers no ready-made solutions, but ideas; no advice, but inspiration on mental health, a topic that has always been at the core of his books. He speaks with experts and those affected, combining new insights with everyday observations, whilst adopting different perspectives. A treasure trove brimming with mental resilience. In this book, the author combines humour, science and mental health – in his own unique way.
