When dark smoke rises from stone temples, the followers of the cult of Dionysus pour each other deep red wine, ancient philosophers passionately discuss in the Athenian agora, and cheering shouts of victory ring out from Olympia in the distance - then you, dear readers, are nowhere else than in the multifaceted world of Greek antiquity. We hear a lot about ancient Greece; be it the huge world of gods that rules over the celestial sphere, strange myths that we still read and love today, or even personalities like that of Alexander the Great that trigger fascination and curiosity in us.

Our world is changing, the climate is changing. Species that have long existed on our planet are disappearing and resources are becoming scarce. People are slowly realizing that development is not always good. We are exploiting our earth, but we should be looking after it, because we only have this one. Slowly, however, a rethink is taking place and people are trying to undo past mistakes. Attempts are being made to reduce CO₂ emissions, conserve the earth's resources and pay more attention to nature. But once we have become accustomed to a certain standard of living, it is difficult to give it up again or change our habits.

If you are reading this book, then you have probably come across a very common problem in our time - you are "lost". Not in the physical sense, of course. You have lost one of man's abilities as a superior biological being: mental clarity. How did you come to this? Let me guess: you are tired of the flow of information hitting our brains from everywhere, or maybe your job involves mental work and you can literally feel yourself being mentally overwhelmed, or something has gone wrong in your personal life. How do you feel? Tiredness is the first thing that comes to mind.
