Stand Firm by Svend Brinkmann
Resisting the Self-Improvement Craze
This book challenges the modern obsession with constant self‑optimization and therapeutic self‑focus, arguing instead for cultivating firmness of character: setting boundaries, saying no, accepting limits and loss, and embracing responsibility, tradition, and relationships as sources of meaning. Drawing on psychology and philosophy, it offers practical and ethical arguments for resisting digital distraction, relentless change, and the pressure to constantly remake oneself, advocating a steadier, more disciplined stance toward life that values commitment, ritual, and moral backbone over perpetual self‑improvement.
