A conversation with Jirka Havel for Parallel – not only about my new book Start at Home
Annotation of the interview from YouTube Parallel:
At a time when it is easy to point the finger at politicians, elites, or the global system, Jan Tománek comes up with a book that turns attention to where it hurts - to ourselves.
Starting with yourself is not just the title of the book, but also a challenge that resonates through every page. Honza Tománek explains in a readable and understandable way why looking for culprits "out there" often only distracts attention from the real cause of problems - our passivity, our unwillingness to take responsibility and change something at home, in our community, in our everyday lives.
The book is not moralistic, but it also does not pull any punches. Jan Tománek reminds us that if we keep waiting for “someone else” to arrange or fix everything for us, we will wait forever. Real change in society begins with the individual – in the way of thinking, communication and everyday decisions.
Starting with Yourself is an ideal read for anyone who is tired of the constant division of society into "us and them" and is looking for a way to stay active, aware, and creative - even in a chaotic world.
