NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "e;A riveting book."e;The Wall Street Journal"e;Essential reading."e;David Brooks,New York TimesFrom a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerfulaccount of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader,probing look at the struggles of Americas white working classHillbilly Elegyis a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisisthat of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.s grandparents were dirt poor and in love, and moved north from Kentuckys Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.But as the family saga ofHillbilly Elegyplays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vances grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures,Hillbilly Elegyis the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

»Ich habe aufgehört, mich anzustrengen, und es fühlt sich so gut an.«Keine Lust mehr auf Stress, Selbstoptimierung und Druck von allen Seiten? Dann nimm dir ein Beispiel an Faultieren. Ihr Mantra ist Entschleunigung. Sie schlafen viel, bewegen sich langsam, essen genüsslich, hängen dauernd rum und sind gerne für sich - dies alles jedoch mit nachhaltigem Erfolg: Faultiere gibt es seit 30 Millionen Jahren. Es ist Zeit, die Faulheit auch für uns zu entdecken und von den besten Entspannungsexperten dieser Welt zu lernen. Denn nur denen, die auch mal nichts tun, geht es dauerhaft gut. Willkommen bei den Faultieren und ihrer Lebensphilosophie! Hier ein paar Weisheiten:Schlaf aus - das ist erholsamer für Geist und Körper als um 6 Uhr früh joggen zu gehen. Faultiere schlafen zwischen 10 und 18 Stunden täglich.Iss langsam - Faultiere gehören zur Slow-Food-Bewegung der ersten Stunde. Sie verzehren hauptsächlich frische Blätter, Zweige und Früchte - und kauen stundenlang drauf rum. Plus: Sie essen im Freien, weit weg von ihren Computern.Halt still - Faultiere sind Meister der Reglosigkeit. Sie entkommen Raubtieren, indem sie ganz stillhalten. In unserem aufgescheuchten Medienzeitalter müssen wir dauernd auf irgendwas reagieren. Dies einfach mal nicht zu tun - was für eine Erholung. Sei dir selbst genug: Faultiere sind von Natur aus ungesellig und verbringen den Großteil ihrer Zeit allein. Wir glauben, uns dauernd verabreden zu müssen - und dass Alleinsein etwas Schlimmes ist. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Endlich mal wieder Zeit für sich zu haben, kann magisch sein.»Ihre Anleitung zu mehr Gelassenheit in einer tierisch hektischen Welt bietet eine humorvolle Lektüre die zum Nachdenken anregt [...].« Mannheimer Morgen »Das Buch ist eine schnelle und leichte Lektüre, trotzdem hat es mein Leben verändert.« GlamourDE
