A wake-up call for lived self-responsibility. Stress at work, problems in the family, dissatisfaction as a life motto - nothing is going the way we wish it would. But complaining won't get us anywhere. Instead of hiding behind a victim mentality, we should learn to understand why and how we have done things so far and how we behave when we encounter obstacles or when things are going well. Such a process of reflection is usually triggered by a crisis. But is that really necessary? Can't we also bring about change through our own efforts, evolve, and achieve what we desire? In seven thought experiments, Wolf and Lara Lasko explore this question and invite their readers to examine their own thought structures. They show how we can give the longed-for yet seemingly lost parts of ourselves the attention they deserve, step by step finding an authentic and self-determined way of life.
