Beruf und Berufung

The guide 'Profession and Calling' by Mathias Morgenthaler offers a profound insight into the multifaceted world of work. In a series of interviews, the author portrays individuals from various social backgrounds who navigate the space between job, work, and vocation. The conversations paint a realistic picture of the constant struggle for existence and fulfillment, highlighting both the challenges and unexpected twists in professional life. Morgenthaler demonstrates that success is never guaranteed and failure can occur at any moment, all while maintaining a subtle sense of optimism. The portraits reveal the contradictions and fractures in the lives of the interviewees, who, despite all adversities, continually find new perspectives and creative solutions. This book thus provides not only a collection of life stories but also a mirror of the modern working world, where rise and fall, sacrifice and fulfillment are closely intertwined. It is aimed at readers interested in the real challenges and opportunities of professional life and who wish to gain a nuanced view of the dynamics of work and vocation.
