Carina Krieger: Underestimated, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Most people would say that politics is a field guided by rational thought, but that is only partly true. Rational thinking certainly plays an important role, yet political decisions both influence and are influenced by many aspects of our lives. Therefore, emotions can never be completely excluded from politics.

This book explores the complex relationship between emotions and rational reasoning in politics - from social media posts to political discussions. It shows how emotions can be used to manipulate decisions, but also how they can enrich and strengthen them. To avoid the negative side of emotional influence, we must understand our own emotions and learn how to use them meaningfully in political contexts.

Drawing on studies, theories, and real-world examples, it uncovers how emotions shape today's political landscape and offers practical ideas and approaches to help recognize hidden emotions and apply them consciously for better political outcomes. Only by gaining a deeper understanding of our emotions and needs can we navigate the political world with clarity and a mindset that ultimately improves our quality of life.
