How to Look Like You Have Your Shit Together is a calm, ironic, and sharply observant book about modern exhaustion, invisible social pressure, and the performance of competence. It is written for people who appear functional, capable, and reliable - while quietly improvising everything behind the scenes. Instead of offering motivation, routines, or self-optimization strategies, this book removes the invisible rules that drain energy: over-explaining, over-performing, constant availability,...

Als die beiden in eine...

At the height of Ronald Reagan's popularity in July 1986, Time magazine wrote glowingly of how he had "found America's sweet spot." Reagan seemed a "magician who carries a bright, ideal America like a holograph in his mind and projects its image in the air." Not since the rhapsody about "Camelot" that surrounded John F. Kennedy in the wake of his assassination had a president been spoken of so reverently. Reagan pledged to bring Americans a "little good news" and during the next e...

The Bush administration frequently invokes his legacy as it formulates and promotes its fiscal, domestic, and foreign policies. His name is watchword for campus conservatives who regard him in a way that borders on hero worship. Conservative media pundits often equate the term "Reagan-esque" with personal honor, fiscal rectitude, and unqualified success in dealing with foreign ...
