Faz̤īlat-i kinārah giriftan: Persian 1401

It can be said that since the industrial revolution, with the ideas of progress and construction, people have lost the opportunity to enjoy life more and more. Media and social networks constantly ask us to learn as much as possible and time is short and we have to hurry. In fact, what has been forgotten in the meantime is life itself. Is there really any sense of comfort and leisure in this fast pace of life in the modern world? It all boils down to more work and more income. More money means more comfort. We know that all these sentences are very wrong. What we need today is a correct perspective on daily activities. Free time through which we can restore ourselves and gain a better understanding of those around us. In this book, "The Virtue of Withdrawal," the best-selling Danish philosopher and psychologist Sonde Brinkman reveals the many virtues of losing one's past life and the constant temptations that dominate today's consumer society. By cultivating self-restraint and respect for moderation, we today can build a better way of life that saves ourselves and our fellow humans and protects the planet we all share—in short, we can rediscover the joy of being lost. Sond Brinkmann lived as a professor of psychology at Aalborg University until he published Stand Firm, which became an overnight bestseller and quickly established him as a leading intellectual and public culture critic. Sond Brinkman has won the prestigious Rosenkjær Award for his treatment of the central events and problems of modern life.
