Do we become more serene when we look at a painting by Kandinsky for twenty minutes? Do we find ourselves again if we simply decide not to get so angry anymore? And do we hear our inner voice more clearly when we voluntarily do without more?
Verena Carl dares the self-experiment and tries out 12 different methods in 12 months to come back to herself. Whether it's more acceptance for one's own weaknesses, anger fasting or slow art - on her journey to herself, she tests well-known and brand-new methods for lasting effect and suitability for everyday life. Her reports on her experiences are witty and unvarnished. Psychologist Anne Otto accompanies her on her experiment, provides up-to-date information from science, and gives readers numerous accompanying exercises, reflections, and alternatives.
This book is a valuable guide for all those who want to deal effectively with themselves in their busy everyday lives, and for whom the fun factor must not be neglected in the process.
