Was ist der Sinn des Lebens, John Strelecky? | Sternstunde Religion | SRF Kultur

At first, no one wanted to publish it, then the book became a bestseller: "The Cafe at the Edge of the World" by John Strelecky. Since then, Strelecky has been a sought-after motivational speaker and life coach. A conversation about the search for meaning in life, religion, and the bigger picture that holds the world together. Topics in this episode: 00:00 When did you begin searching for the meaning of life? 11:26 What did you look for and find in Africa? 22:00 Do we have to break free to find ourselves? 33:30 Has the search for meaning replaced religion? 43:30 Why do we need God? The American bestselling author John Strelecky is a traveler, a seeker, who, with his books that have sold millions of copies and been translated into 33 languages, reaches people with the promise that everyone can change their life and discover meaning in it. What is life really about? Do God, faith, and religions still play any role in this search for meaning? And what is the point if we, as individuals, manage to find it when people all around us eke out an existence in poverty, war, and conflict under undignified conditions? Or, to put it another way: Is the question of meaning a privilege reserved for those who live in security, peace, and prosperity? A conversation with John Strelecky, moderated by Ahmad Milad Karimi. ...

That is our approach. We engage in social debates and in-depth conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things, and it reaches deep into the heart of society. From Zen meditation to church abuse of power, from football fan culture to the gender debate: We approach the broad topic of religion, faith, and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Hosts: Olivia Röllin:   / oliviaroellin   Ahmad Milad Karimi:   / donkarimi   ____________________ SRF's Social Media Netiquette: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFCulture #SRFCultureStarryMoments #SRFSternstunde #Religion #MeaningOfLife #FaithInGod #SearchingForMeaning #SRF #Culture 💬 Do you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback?
