Finn Janning Bücher

Exploring the intersection of mindfulness and philosophy, Finn Janning presents a transformative approach that shifts mindfulness from a psychological practice to a philosophical one. By integrating the affirmative philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, he emphasizes the importance of being present and ethically engaged with our surroundings. Janning argues for a new philosophy that enhances our awareness, urging readers to recognize the significance of every experience as a connection to the ever-evolving nature of life, ultimately fostering a sense of responsibility toward future generations.

A proper philosophical question is: Which life is worth living? The question invites a plurality of answers from different perspectives. This plurality leads toward an affirmative practice that asks: How might one live a flourishing and happy life without any transcendent guidance? This book deals with these questions. It tells the case story of the Danish artist Jeppe Hein’s burnout. The material for this book is based on more than 100 hours of interviews with Jeppe Hein.
