Standpoints

In 'Standpoints: 10 Old Ideas in a New World', Svend Brinkmann critiques the self-improvement industry by highlighting intrinsic values like goodness, freedom, truth, and love.

He argues that focusing on these principles and prioritizing community can lead to a more fulfilling life.

The book draws from philosophers such as Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Arendt to establish a philosophical anthropology that emphasizes interconnectedness and responsibility.
