Robert Kisch’s story continues: He was fired, his wife has left him and he sets out on a mission that is as brave as it is universal: Kisch is seeking happiness. On the way he meets interesting people. A physicist, a Zen teacher and a former communist. A brain researcher, a management consultant, a hospice worker and a former migrant. Astonished, Kisch registers a large movement from the midst of society: People who no longer look left or right, but rather orientate their lives around what is really important. Birth and death. Eating and drinking. Love and happiness. This brave novel is an eye- and heart opener.
