      A real-life thriller about a nation in crisis, and the controversial decisions its leaders made during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the government instituted no restrictions. Then, it didn't order the wearing of face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, and even envy, a small country in Northern Europe stood alone. As COVID-19 spread across the globe rapidly, the world shut down. But Sweden remained open. The Swedish COVID-19 strategy was alternately lauded and held up as a cautionary tale by international governments and journalists alike -- with all eyes on what has been dubbed 'The Swedish Experiment'. But what made Sweden take such a different path? In The Herd, journalist Johan Anderberg narrates the improbable story of a small nation that took a startlingly different approach to fighting the virus, guiding the reader through the history of epidemiology and the ticking-clock decisions that pandemic decision-makers were faced with on a daily basis.

      Warum Nichtstun manchmal die klügere Entscheidung ist

      Warum fällt es uns so schwer, nichts zu tun? Warum feiern wir diejenigen, die schnell reagieren, kämpfen und einfach nicht aufgeben können so viel mehr als die Zögernden? In einer Zeit, die permanent nach Entscheidungen verlangt und maximale Effizienz fordert, hinterfragt Johan Anderberg unseren Glauben an den ständigen Handlungszwang und zeigt anhand anschaulicher Beispiele aus der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, von Philosophie und Religion bis zu Wirtschaft und Popkultur, warum Nicht-Handeln und Abwarten keine Schwäche, sondern eine Stärke ist. Ein kluger, pointierter und unterhaltsamer Blick auf die Kunst des Nichtstuns.
