Most of us are wondering what the heck is going wrong with the world. We turn on our televisions to hear about rape, theft, murderous rampages, and more. People are going crazy and slapping their managers in the face with bacon at fast-food restaurants. Patrons are abandoning their cars in the drive thru to slip inside the back door and physically accost the food service employees.

"Nicht die Dinge an sich beunruhigen den Menschen, sondern seine Sicht der Dinge!" Der Grieche Epiktet (ca. 50-130) lebte in Rom und war einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der späten stoischen Philosophie. Das "Handbüchlein der Moral", auch "Encheiridion", war sein bekanntestes Werk und fand in der Spätantike als Trostbuch eine starke Verbreitung. Der Wille sei so zu gebrauchen, dass Harmonie mit dem Weltlauf erreicht wird.

When Dr Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife, Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine.
