In this age of social media, fake news, individualism and information overload, the certainties we relied on in the past are gone. In our quest for assurance and support, the only seemingly dependable pillar left is other people. So we look to them. But they are unsettled too. And by looking to them, we create and perpetuate our own vicious stress-cycle. As a result, we lose our sensible selves. And we go bananas. In his latest book, No More Bananas, UvA Professor Jeroen Kraaijenbrink provides a nine-step approach with some remarkably practical advice for keeping a cool head in the collective lunacy. We'll be devoting a podcast to each step and explaining the book as we go along.
