Everyone knows them in life: moments and situations where one feels lost, the ground is pulled out from under their feet, and life sometimes takes a radical turn. The editors Herlinde Kolebl, Louis Lewitan, and Ijoma Mangold have interviewed prominent figures from culture, business, politics, and society, documenting their very personal stories. What was the turning point in their lives, what has made them who they are today? Sometimes dramatic, always touching, and often educational. Featuring contributions from Thomas Quasthoff, Ildikó von Kürthy, Ferdinand von Schirach, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Ferran Adria, and Vera Lengsfeld, among others.
