For it is not religion that is returning; rather, there is something else quite profound that is taking on increasing significance in the present: the human as a practising, training being, one that creates itself through exercises and thereby transcends itself. Rainer Maria Rilke formulated the drive towards such self-training in the early twentieth century in the imperative \u003cem\u003eYou must change your life\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn making his case for the expansion of the practice zone for individuals and for society as a whole, Sloterdijk develops a fundamental and fundamentally new anthropology. The core of his science of the human being is an insight into the self-formation of all things human. The activity of both individuals and collectives constantly comes back to affect them: work affects the worker, communication the communicator, feelings the feeler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is those humans who engage expressly in practice that embody this mode of existence most clearly: farmers, workers, warriors, writers, yogis, rhetoricians, musicians or models. By examining their training plans and peak performances, \u003cem\u003eYou Must Change Your Life\u003c\/em\u003e offers a panorama of exercises that are necessary to be, and remain, a human being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464793243884,"sku":"9780745649221","price":73.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745649221-you-must-change-your-life.jpg?v=1775055501","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/you-must-change-your-life-by-peter-sloterdijk-9780745649221","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
