Instructions on how to be unhappy

Philosophenweg | Paul Watzlawick

The story of the man who claps his hands every 10 seconds.

When asked about the reason for this strange behavior. Explained, to scare away the elephants.

“Elephants? but there are no elephants here.”

“Exactly," he replied with a knowing smile. "It's working perfectly.”

The philosopher Paul Watzlawick as a storyteller.

The contradictory and paradoxical tracks irritate. This is more for the solutions they offer. In his lectures and books, Watzlawick has described many situations. These situations can send people into a tailspin or give them strength.

Who was this man, so confident and humorous in the confusion of everyday life?
