Modern love is in crisis. We have the freedom to love how we want and whom we want. Yet this historically unprecedented situation – full of countless possibilities – also leads to countless dates that never turn into anything meaningful. Freedom turns into overwhelm and exhaustion. For Michael Nast, this leads to dating burnout. In his new book, he explores the question of why we keep searching nonetheless – and why so many relationships are doomed to fail before they even begin. His own experiences bring him to a central question: Am I even ready for a relationship, or am I dating to unconsciously work through something? A thoughtful, sensitive analysis of our love-driven society.
Please note that the event will be held in German.
