Qualität!

The things we surround ourselves with, how we eat, how we dress or how we furnish ourselves: It's not the quantity that makes the difference, but the quality. Well-made, beautiful, durable things give pleasure, accompany and enrich us.

But how can we tell what is really good? By the price? By the origin, the craftsmanship, the tradition? By the Stiftung Warentest rating, by the organic seal - or perhaps by something else entirely?

Dirk Hohnsträter, expert for consumer culture, pleads for a new attitude towards everyday life. His voyage of discovery into the rich world of quality reveals one thing: It's all about time - in production as well as in the search. It's about material and workmanship, about function and form, about the relationship between value and price, and last but not least: about the art of pleasing oneself. There's a world of great stuff out there. So let's sharpen our eyes for the things that contribute to a better life.
