Between Hubris & Fear: The Crisis of the Modern Self A stirring nonfiction book about the loss of our values in a torn world Why does our society seem more disoriented than ever, despite progress, freedom, and prosperity? "Between Hubris & Fear: The Crisis of the Modern Self" relentlessly exposes how the modern self is torn apart between self-aggrandizement and deep insecurity – and in the process, central humanistic values such as decency, loyalty, responsibility, and morality are lost. This book is a passionate plea for a return to what defines our humanity. It analyzes, with a clear perspective and philosophical depth, how egocentrism, moral arbitrariness, and collective fears are destabilizing our society. Instead of true freedom, we are experiencing an identity crisis – and with it the gradual disappearance of empathy, solidarity, and spirituality. This book invites you to pause. To reflect. And perhaps even to take new paths. It combines philosophical depth with understandable language – and is aimed at all those who want to understand, not just observe. What you can expect from this book: – Decline in values & ethics in the modern age – Hubris and self-promotion in social media – Culture of fear and loss of identity – The role of humanism in the 21st century – Paths to a new moral orientation For all those who sense that something crucial is being lost in our society – and who are looking for answers, guidance, and true depth. This book is a wake-up call – and offers hope. For you. For us. For a better society.

Hermann Selchow, Jahrgang 1956, wurde in Schleswig-Holstein geboren. Er wuchs in Schwerin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auf. Schon in frühen Kindertagen war er vernarrt in Literatur. Vor allem hatten es ihm die klassische Literatur, aber auch Sachbücher und Philosophie angetan. Die Heldensagen und Schreiber der griechischen Antike sind ebenfalls eine alte Liebe. In seiner Jugend unternahm er erste Gehversuche in der Schreiberei und veröffentlichte einige Kurzerzählungen in einigen Magazinen. Später arbeitete er von 1986-1994 am Schweriner Staatstheater, wo er diese Liebe ausleben und zum Beruf machen konnte. Er machte sich dann einige Jahre artfremd selbstständig. Im Alter von 67 Jahren traute er sich dann wieder öffentlich, als Autor aktiv zu werden. Er lebt zur Zeit in der Nähe von Hamburg. Hermann Selchow veröffentlichte inzwischen mehrere Bücher zu aktuellen und zeitbezogenen Themen. Dabei versucht er seinen eigenen Blickwinkel auf die Geschehnisse der Gegenwart und jüngeren Vergangenheit zu finden, ohne die möglichen Ursachen aus den Augen zu verlieren oder zu verfälschen. ====================================== Hermann Selchow, born in 1956, was born in Schleswig-Holstein. He grew up in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. From an early age, he was passionate about literature. He was particularly drawn to classical literature, but also non-fiction and philosophy. The heroic sagas and writers of ancient Greece are also a long-standing passion. In his youth, he took his first steps in writing and published several short stories in several magazines. Later, from 1986 to 1994, he worked at the Schwerin State Theater, where he was able to pursue this passion and turn it into a career. He then went into business for himself for a few years. At the age of 67, he dared to become a public author again. He currently lives near Hamburg. Hermann Selchow has since published several books on current and contemporary topics. In doing so, he tries to find his own perspective on the events of the present and recent past, without losing sight of or distorting the possible causes.
