Why there is more that unites us than divides us: In her new, highly topical book on the politics of division and polarization in this country, the renowned journalist and author Gilda Sahebi dispels common myths and fake facts. Anyone who looks at German society today might think: It is a country full of drama, opposition and division. That this is the case is a narrative that is politically generated and reinforced by the media. Gilda Sahebi exposes it as a lie, as an instrument of rule by authoritarian forces. She shows this in the relevant debates on social benefits, migration, gender and wokeness, war and peace as well as Corona.

Studies show again and again: People are much more likely to be satisfied in their own lives; they help and support each other, seek connection, not hatred. Where is the search for connection lost at the social level? And what can one do to give the narrative of division no space in one's own life?
