Understanding life as a journey of self-discovery

 

Life lies before us like an unknown landscape that we need to traverse. In the midst of our daily lives, we dream of a different, better life; we feel a calling for change. Time and again, we have to set out anew, overcome difficulties and face challenges. To ensure that the transformation is a success and that we also grow and mature internally, it is important to be aware of what really matters. Melanie Wolfers and Andreas Knapp invite you to do so with their book. They themselves have experienced major upheavals in their lives, combining their own experiences with fundamental considerations and questions for self-reflection. They provide their readers with an inner map to help them better navigate life's upheavals.

Travel warning from the Ministry of the Interior: Those who embark on this book's journey return changed.

  

‘There are moments when we feel that the old has become fragile. It is time to set out. On the threshold between the old and the new world, we decide: can I leave behind me that which paralyses me? Do I trust my longing for a brighter life?’ Melanie Wolfers & Andreas Knapp
