Einer von Max besten Kollegen ist überraschend zum Aussteiger geworden, was Max mehr zu schaffen macht, als er sich eingestehen möchte. Mit seinen zwei neuen Bekannten, Sokrates, ein kauzbärtiger Obdachloser, der nackt im Brunnen beim Einkaufszentrum badet, und Johanna, die Umarmungen liebt und an das Gute in der Welt glaubt, kommt er zur Überzeugung, dass die Menschen der Stadt nur noch gerettet werden können, indem man ihnen das Fernsehen wegnimmt. Max' Freundin mit gewissen Vorzügen, Izzie, findet diesen Plan überhaupt nicht gut, obwohl sie selbst gar keinen Fernseher besitzt.

High demands are placed on every individual person not only by the current world situation, but by everyday life as well. Change has always been a component of mankind’s development, but the speed and intensity of this change has increased markedly. In a globalized, high-tech information or data society in which life has become fast, abstract and seemingly very individualized, while at the same time, values and other guidelines are disintegrating or leading to dead-ends, humanity can become frustrating. "Walking the Streets" aims to lead readers along the path of reflection and a discussion of the currently predominant spirit of the times. The book does not claim to offer solutions or deeper insights but aspires to serve as a stimulus and recommendation to readers to take such a "walk" themselves. One of these possible paths is illustrated by John. Thrown off balance by the departure of his friend, he is initially stimulated to reflect on himself. Inevitably, his thoughts then lead him away from himself as an individual and towards societal issues. The focus of the book is ultimately on the issue of blueprinting a life worth living. John's companions, Socrates and Joanna, represent the inner turmoil between logic and emotion during his walk through the streets (of life).

Alexander fühlt sich manchmal wie ein "geschlagener Hund". Aber da gibt es auch noch Jasmin. Ein Buch über unsere grossen Fragen an das Leben. Und mögliche Antworten darauf, die wir nicht alle hören möchten.
