Could we have it more beautiful than now? Absolutely! And healthier.

We live better and longer than any generation before us. And yet we are more vulnerable than we thought: a virus is keeping us in suspense and we are sliding unchecked into the climate crisis. Slowly it is dawning on us: health is more than pills and gadgets. To be healthy, the first thing we need is something to eat, drink and breathe. And tolerable outside temperatures.

Healthy people can only exist on a healthy earth.

Eckart von Hirschhausen shows what the global crises of our time mean for the health of each and every one of us. He meets thought leaders and role models and goes in search of good ideas for a better world. Why is it possible to become immune to viruses, but never to water shortages and heat? Why do we have time for nothing, but so much stuff? Do we consume so much because we don’t know what we really need? And how much CO2 do we actually emit when we laugh at our own contradictions?
