"Ein paar Jahre werden Sie schon noch leben!" - wie der Autor mit dieser Diagnose umging Im Alter von 26 Jahren wurde Helmut Retzl mit einer schockierenden Diagnose konfrontiert, die ihn aus seinen Lebensträumen riss: ein schwerer Fall von Multipler Sklerose - keine Chance auf Heilung und nur mehr wenig Lebenszeit.

A free-wheeling philosophical essay, Hypochondria is expansive in its range of references, from the writings of Franz Kafka to original yet accessible readings of theorists like Lauren Berlant. Whether he is discussing Seinfeld, John Donne, or his own hypochondriac past, Rees reveals himself to be a wry and perceptive critic, exploring the causes—and the costs—of our desire for certainty. With wit and erudition, Hypochondria demonstrates both the rewards and the perils of reading (too) closely the common but typically overlooked aspects of our everyday lives.

Viele Menschen fühlen sich im Alltag getrieben, sind unglücklich oder unzufrieden mit ihrem Leben oder mit ihrer Umwelt, werden schnell wütend, greifen andere an oder versinken in Trauer und Melancholie. Viele halten das für normal. So wie Ferdinand Saalbach es lange Zeit für normal gehalten hatte, dass er jahrelang augenscheinlich erfolgreich durchs Leben tigerte und mit Karriere, Frauen und einer Weltreise seine Umwelt beeindruckte, aber immer irgendwie unsympathisch blieb und weder eine funktionierende Partnerschaft aufbauen, noch ein zufriedenstellendes Arbeitsverhältnis halten konnte.
