Die Schule meines Lebens

How does one lead a good, creative life? In the podcast Hotel Matze, actors, artists, and other creatives share with host Matze Hielscher how they navigate their lives. Many celebrities have already been guests on the show, and he has learned something about life from each of them: from Nora Tschirner, the importance of taking breaks; from Frank Elstner, how to let go of ideas; from illustrator Christoph Niemann, how he learned to be creative on command; and from Anne Will, how she built her career. In this book, Matze Hielscher has gathered the best of the best: it combines the smartest life recipes from some of the most interesting minds in the nation, providing inspiring insights for one’s own life management. The conversations at Hotel Matze feel like meetings with old friends, which has an advantage over typical interviews: Hielscher's guests generously share details from their lives that they would hardly tell any journalist. The key lessons from over a hundred conversations about the good life, success, and self-management include insights from Anne Will, Atze Schröder, Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre, Bosse, Carl Jakob Haupt, Christian Ulmen, Christoph Niemann, Clueso, Doris Dörrie, Dunja Hayali, Frank Elstner, Fynn Kliemann, Giovanni di Lorenzo, Hazel Brugger, Jürgen Vogel, Katrin Bauerfeind, Kim Frank, Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Kübra Gümüşay, Lars Eidinger, Madeleine Daria Alizadeh, Nora Tschirner, Paul Ripke, Sabine Rückert, Sarah Kuttner, Sibylle Berg, Tim Mälzer, Tim Raue, Titus Dittmann, and Wolfgang Joop.
