Trust Yourself And You Can Do (Almost) Anything

A book of hope for everyone who has self-doubt

What is possible when we let ourselves be challenged and call on our full potential?

Bodo Janssen is a SPIEGEL best-selling author

Moving stories of breathtaking tours

Children and teenagers are told everything that they can’t do thousands of times before their eighteenth birthday. Many of them are made to feel small and failure is reinforced, but not daring and success. Later on, these children and teenagers often do not have the courage to have confidence in themselves. As adults they hesitate to take on new challenges or to do what they feel passionate about. And so many of them do not achieve their potential. What are your talents, what can you do? And what do you really want from life? Everyone needs to find an answer to these questions because “the time in your life is a gift”. The successful entrepreneur has made it his goal to enable people to achieve their full potential. It is a matter close to his heart that people go in search of a fulfilled life and find their purpose. In particular, he wants to give teenagers and young adults the chance for inner growth and to discover what makes them strong and the chance to prove and expand their own skills in order to feel what makes for a meaningful life. To do so, he takes them on a special tour. To Spitsbergen. To Kilimanjaro. To Iceland. On the tour of their lives. The stories about the preparation and execution of these tours form the framework of a brilliant analysis of our times and the conclusions that Bodo Janssen draws from it all. It becomes clear what we can achieve when we dare to have more confidence in ourselves. And so his new book is an invitation to freedom - and therefore something akin to the spiritual practice section for his two SPIEGEL best-sellers “Die stille Revolution: Führen mit Sinn und Menschlichkeit” (The silent revolution: leading with purpose and humanity) and “Stark in stürmischen Zeiten” (Strong in stormy times)(together with Anselm Grün).
