“Hepitalism as Happiness, Tolerance, and Compassion”
In his book, Prof. Dr. Akgül shares the problems caused by capitalism and globalization, and attempts to help better understand the vital need for a shift towards hepitalism. Describing himself as a 'hepitalist', Prof. Dr. Akgül wishes for hepitalism, an approach of happiness, tolerance, and compassion, to be implemented worldwide, stating: 'In an age where ostentation and arrogance run rampant, there is a need for the simplicity of life. Especially after the coronavirus pandemic, by ‘thinking outside the box,' by shedding our excesses and simplifying, we can achieve the unity of diversity.'
