Guest: Sociologist Prof. Dr. Hartmut Rosa

Rebelliously Healthy Podcast Episode 132

We all yearn for a fulfilling and good life. But we're stuck in the growth trap: We need growth to secure our prosperity. Not out of greed, but out of fear of downward mobility and being left behind. This fear drives us to want to make the world controllable, available, and predictable—an impossible undertaking. The result is an ever-accelerating world in which, despite new technologies, we are constantly under time pressure, and stressed and harried people who behave aggressively: against nature, against other people, and even against themselves (self-optimization).

But how can things be different? How can we lead a contented life that resonates—both individually and socially?

Prof. Dr. Hartmut Rosa provides the answers. He is a professor of sociology at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, director of the Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies in Erfurt, an award-winning author of numerous books, and one of Germany's leading sociologists.

Together, we'll discuss how deep and lasting satisfaction arises, what truly strengthens relationships, and why we often feel rushed in our daily lives. Learn more about our relationship with aggression toward other people, nature, and ourselves, the urgently needed changes in the workplace, and gain practical insights and valuable perspectives for a fulfilling life.
