AUSGEGRÜBELT! Was wirklich gegen Overthinking hilft. Grübelschleifen rauben Kraft und sind ungesund. "Gedankenstopp" heißt da das Wundermittel, das uns Coaches und der Self-Help-Markt verordnen wollen. Doch wenn wir einfach auf Knopfdruck aufhören könnten im Kreis zu denken, würden wir das nicht tun? Und viel mehr noch: sollten wir das überhaupt? Philosophin Judith Werner sagt nein. Denn die Themen, die unsere Gedanken kreisen lassen, stummzuschalten, hält uns nur vom Lösen unserer Probleme ab.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C-A.D. 65), the chief advisor to the emperor Nero, was the power behind the throne in Ancient Rome. He is most famous for his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement.

It approaches the subject in the simplest and most direct way and is therefore best adapted as an introduction into his philosophy.
