About the Book
Everyone needs care. Without care, children do not grow up, the sick do not get better and the elderly do not grow old. But if care is so important, why do we care so little about it?
In a fascinating search for the meaning of care, Lynn Berger discovers how all-encompassing care is, but also how invisible. High time to see care for what it’s worth. High time for a better perspective on what it means to be human.
