Sigmund Freud wusste: „Wir sind nicht Herr im eigenen Haus." Ständig besuchen uns ungebetene Gäste, fressen sich am Buffet durch und trinken uns das Bier weg. Gemeint sind vor allem: negative Gefühle, die sich nicht nur mies anfühlen, sondern uns auch direkt ins Unglück führen können. Fast jeder kennt dieses gemeine Gefühl, einer Aufgabe nicht gewachsen zu sein. Keiner will sie haben: Neid, Gier, Rache. Mit diesem Thema ist nicht zu spaßen. Denn Einsamkeit ist ein echtes Problem.

Es ist ein literarisch verdichteter Weckruf für alle, die spüren, dass etwas grundlegend nicht mehr stimmt – in uns, um uns und zwischen uns. In zehn kraftvollen Kapiteln wird sichtbar, wie Individualisierung, Beschleunigung, digitaler Reiz-Overload und kulturelle Sprachlosigkeit eine Gesellschaft hervorbringen, die zwar alles hat – aber sich selbst verliert.
