Summary

Carlo Strenger: fear of insignificance

How deep is our need to feel significant? What does it take to become a celebrity? What turns a mere mortal into a demigod? What is civilized contempt - an alternative to political correctness or finding ways to coexist, cooperate and gain respect? How to deal with the fear of mortality? What do we know about the psychology of heroism and the pursuit of glory? Midlife Questions: What am I good at? What gives meaning to my life? How to leave a work of lasting value? These are the questions addressed in the book by Karlo Strenger, a Swiss-Israeli psychologist, philosopher, existential psychoanalyst and public intellectual.

The value of everything, from companies to religion and from records to ideas, is determined by a system of ranking and evaluation. It was logical that this commodity relationship should be extended to people as well, which was accelerated by the new global infotainment system. The main activity of this system was to rank people for its own needs: it needed global celebrities for global marketing and advertising. The result is two models of a good life: celebrity, i.e. how famous you are, and financial success. Thus a new species was born: Homo globalis, a large group of people whose identity is strongly defined by their involvement in the global infotainment world. Homo globalis has become a commodity that has value and is traded around the world. The book re-appreciates what it means to live a valuable, fulfilling life and how to win the victory of reason and humanity over intolerance, greed and ignorance.

How do you know that your worldview is fundamentally meaningful?
Is fame associated with transience or immortality?
Political correctness and fierce worldview debate.
How to overcome the tendency to violently defend the worldview?
What is the difference between tolerance and tolerance?

An extremely ambitious book that explores the possibilities of a quality and meaningful life in the modern world. Fortunately, the author possesses erudition, thoughtfulness, clarity of expression and the ability to extract the best from his clinical practice, as well as the knowledge of many important thinkers, and thus richly rewards readers.
