Den Geist beruhigen

Matthew Johnstone was born in Australia in 1964 and worked as a creative director in renowned advertising agencies in Sydney, San Francisco, and New York. His book "My Black Dog" has been published in Australia, New Zealand, and England, where it has become a bestseller.

Matthew Johnstone, author of the successful books about the "black dog" of depression, discovered meditation years ago: it helped him cope with his suffering, and he has integrated it as a daily practice into his life. The slowly decelerating ocean liner, the diver in the silence of the deep sea, the astronaut in the vastness of space, the helpful mantra mustache: Matthew Johnstone translates the visualization method often used in meditation into fresh, often humorous images that are immediately accessible and deeply resonate in the consciousness. In this way, he provides a very special introduction to this centuries-old technique of relaxation and centering. Complemented by short, concise texts and pleasantly free of esoteric and ideological baggage, the book explains what preparations are necessary, how to find calm, and how to succeed in meditation.
