In unserem Leben verbringen wir 87.000 Stunden bei der Arbeit. Doch 80 Prozent der Menschen sind unglücklich in ihrem Job, weil ihre Arbeit oft nichts mit ihren persönlichen Vorlieben zu tun hat. Als Ausgleich jagen sie in ihrer spärlichen Freizeit Konsumgütern hinterher, die sie aber eigentlich gar nicht glücklich machen. Robert Wringham zeigt uns, wie wir dieser Unglücksspirale entkommen. Humorvoll erzählt er, wie er sich selbst aus den Zwängen des Alltags befreite, und gibt praktikable Tipps, wie auch wir unser Leben endlich wieder nach unseren eigenen Ideen und Bedürfnissen ausrichten können.
