5. StehaufMensch!: Was macht uns stark? (K)ein Resilienz-Ratgeber. (Skipjack: What Makes Us Strong? (Not) An Resilience Guidebook) by Samuel Koch 4* 8/24(view spoiler)[the title is not really translatable as it's a combination of a word play and contradictory statement:
- Stehaufmännchen (diminutive of Stehaufmensch) is a tumbler or skipjack though here it's a combination of the mental pictures of this toy and a resilient person as the sentence Steh auf, Mensch! (or more common Mensch, steh auf!) means literally Man (Gee)! Get up!
- (K)ein is a unique German word creation used as an (indefinite) aricle and it's negation all at the same - meaning here it's NOT a book about resilience but also that it IS a book about resilience (hide spoiler)]
