Modern love is in crisis. We have the freedom to love how we want and who we want. But this historically unique situation of countless possibilities also results in countless dates that don't turn into anything. Freedom turns into excessive demands and exhaustion. In Michael Nast's case, it leads to dating burnout. In his new book, he gets to the bottom of the question of why we keep on looking and why so many relationships are doomed to fail before they even start. His own experiences lead him to a central question: am I even ready for a relationship or am I dating in order to unconsciously work through something? A clever, insightful analysis of our love society.
How Michael Nast sees the world moves millions on the Internet. His books regularly top the Spiegel bestseller list. He fills concert halls with his readings. He is known as a seeker who speaks to seekers (Die Zeit), as the single pope (Süddeutsche Zeitung), as the male version of Carrie Bradshaw (Die Zeit) or even as the mouthpiece of his generation (Die Welt). He is followed by 600,000 people on social media. He lives in Berlin.
