Synopsis of Die Kunst, ohne Überfluß glücklich zu leben

«Die Kunst, ohne Überfluß glücklich zu leben» is the self-help book by Josef Kirschner, published by Droemer Knaur in paperback (159 pages, in German).

Kirschner draws on his own experience with excess to show that happiness does not require accumulating goods. Against consumer culture, he proposes reviewing priorities and living with less, taking that sobriety as a personal challenge: «the great adventure of our time». He offers no theories, but seeks to provoke the reader into action.

Published in 1980, it carries the subtitle «Das große Abenteuer unserer Zeit» and belongs to the Knaur Taschenbücher collection (no. 7647), Ratgeber series.

For readers interested in practical philosophy and a simpler life, away from consumerism.
