Where does the hate come from?

The old school friend posts hateful comments online. At the family party, the favorite aunt rants about politics and considers voting "far right". A colleague makes openly racist comments.

We live in times in which we encounter hatred, indignation and devaluation even in everyday conversations. We are often overcome by a feeling of anger and helplessness. How we want to deal with hatred, prejudice and right-wing slogans is a crucial question.

Psychologist and author Anne Otto presents psychological approaches to better understand the origins of hatred and prejudice. This knowledge will help you to consciously develop your own attitude and react more confidently in unpleasant conversations. You will also learn some conversation techniques and various approaches that you can use to promote an attitude of acceptance and courage in everyday life, at work and in public.
