Wilhelm Schmid and the November Group Embattled Paths of Modernity
In the wake of the revolution of 1918-1919, members of the artistic vanguard formed the November Group, an alliance of self-described "revolutionaries of the spirit" who made a radical break with traditional forms of art. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the group's founding, the Potsdam Museum has devoted an exhibition to this most prominent political artists' association of the Weimar Republic and to one of its leading figures, the cosmopolitan, painter, architect, and adopted Potsdam citizen Wilhelm Schmid. Schmid's years in Potsdam are closely associated with his early work, and here for the first time an extensive body of work from this phase is presented to the public. With its expressiveness as well as its affinity to the New Objectivity, Schmid's highly individual aesthetic brought him into contact with other avant-garde artists, whose creative search for a new formal language is also represented in the exhibition with an incisive selection of exemplary works. Numerous international lenders have made possible this dialogue between Wilhelm Schmid and artists including Georg Tappert, Arthur Segal, Moriz Melzer, Otto Möller, and César Klein.

High on Low
Nonfiction. Self-Help. Mental Health. Philosophy. Ethics. Winner of the 2015 Living Now Book Award for Personal Growth. Is not being happy really so bad? In HIGH ON LOW: HARNESSING THE POWER OF UNHAPPINESS, Wilhelm Schmid persuasively argues that far from preventing us from living a full and successful life, being unhappy--be it in terms of discontent, melancholy, sadness, or depressive mood--is an inherent part of a well-rounded, active, and creative life. Rather than attempting to treat unhappiness as an unwelcome interloper on our perpetual quest for happiness, we should, Schmid suggests, draw on and harness the very power of not being happy. "This little book covers the gray area between...

What We Gain As We Grow Older: on Gelassenheit
Philosophy. Nonfiction. Translated from the German by Michael Eskin. Learning to live with one's own aging is the new task: making an art of what once was a given—growing older; turning our society's anti-aging bias into a true art of aging that will enable us to live with rather than against the inevitable. In ten practical steps, this book teaches you how to welcome and embrace growing older with 'gelassenheit' at any age. "Philosopher Schmid (High on Low) instructs readers on the art of aging gracefully and contentedly by embracing gelassenheit, a German concept denoting a relaxed attitude. Schmid provides 10 steps toward "experiencing life's plenitude and accepting its temporal limits,...
Education and Schmid's Art of Living
Instead of simply following the current neoliberal mantra of proclaiming economic growth as the single most important factor for maintaining well-being, Education and Schmid’s Art of Living revisits the idea of an education focused on personal development and the well-being of human beings. Drawing on philosophical ideas concerning the good life and recent research in positive psychology, Teschers argues in favour of shifting the focus in education and schooling towards a beautiful life and an art of living for today's students. Containing a thorough discussion of the ideas of contemporary German philosopher Wilhelm Schmid, this book considers the possible implications of developing a more...
