Byung-Chul Han. The Philosophy of the Anxious Age. On Time, Love, Power, and Burnout

Society of Fatigue Why are we so tired, even when we are free? Byung-Chul Han shows how the achievement society turns us into our own overseers. This book is a manifesto against the pressure to be productive always and everywhere. The Agony of Eros Eros dies in a society where the other is replaced by the reflection of oneself. A short but provocative book - a philosophical diagnosis of the culture of transparency, digital intimacy, and the loss of genuine desire. The Aroma of Time Why do we no longer feel the rhythm of time - and lose our taste for life? Byung-Chul Han explains how haste and overload kill depth and calls for the recovery of the lost rhythm - to live, not just to keep up. The Topology of Violence Byung-Chul Han explores how violence has changed its face, turning into self-coercion, hyperactivity, and the cult of transparency. This book is a philosophical map of the hidden mechanisms of power in the world.
