The crises of recent years have noticeably changed the social climate. Our in-depth psychological interviews and rheingold analyses show how people are dealing with the growing uncertainty: Many withdraw, but at the same time develop amazing strategies to cope with everyday life and remain capable of acting.

These personal and extremely artistic strategies of self-assertion in a world that has gone off the rails are the focus of my new book "Wir Krisenakrobaten - Psychogramm einer verunsicherten Gesellschaft", which will be published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch at the beginning of October 2025. It sheds light on the behavioral patterns, longings for redemption, paths and aberrations that arise in times of upheaval - and what this reveals about our collective self-image.

I would like to discuss these observations with you and cordially invite you to the digital book premiere on October 9 . I am particularly pleased that the renowned journalist and long-time head of the ZDF Capital Studio Theo Koll will be accompanying the premiere. He knows the world's crises and upheavals at close quarters and will enrich the discussion with his insights and questions.

As part of the frank & frei event series organized by the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, the book will also celebrate its Cologne premiere live and on location at the Karl-Rahner-Akademie in the heart of Cologne. The discussion with chief correspondent Joachim Frank will also provide exciting insights into the small and big tricks of crisis management - and invites you to understand people's surprising strategies as a source of inspiration for social coexistence.

Whether digital or analog: I would be delighted if you would join us!
Best regards,
Yours, Stephan Grünewald
