In his essays, German writer and journalist Daniel Schreiber examines this seeming paradox, referring to the works of philosophers (from Aristotle and Michel Foucault to Hannah Arendt and Gilles Deleuze), literary works (from Jane Austen to Annie Ernaux), current studies of practicing psychotherapists, and even popular sitcoms.
