Summer gives us time – for family and friends, for switching off from everyday life, for discoveries off the beaten path. Here at the Weltethos Institute, too, this is a chance to pause, let our thoughts wander, and gain new perspectives. So that summer break doesn’t turn into a summer slump, we’ve put together a few suggestions for further thought. We hope you have a wonderful summer – and starting in September, we have some interesting, encouraging, and inspiring events in store for you.
Are we truly knowing, or even wise, as the term homo sapiens suggests? Or are we, above all, homo narrans – storytelling apes who use compelling narratives to convince ourselves of exactly that? This summer, Harvard primatologist Christine Webb invites us on an enchanting journey toward the disenchantment of human arrogance, and toward a deeper understanding of the world we share with other beings.

If you find it hard to switch off this summer and simply think about nothing for once, reach for this book. Dr. No is a latently psychedelic delight – a story that invites purposeless pondering, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is inexplicably effective. This book proves: art can be comforting.
An open marriage, an ominous tech billionaire, and an online romance that ends in a bomb-squad check. Madeline Cash writes a slightly over-the-top but hugely entertaining social satire that reads almost effortlessly. Anyone looking to briefly escape the great crises of our time can join the members of the Flynn family as they lose and find each other – and maybe end up smiling at the absurdity of it all.
A beautifully calm, quiet animated film about two sisters who encounter mysterious forest spirits in the countryside. The perfect film to simply switch off with this summer.
