Uwe Böschemeyer explores whether and how a change is possible during times of crisis. His support offerings for life issues such as dissatisfaction, lack of meaning, fears, depressive moods, weariness with life, separations, and conflicts between young and old are described in concrete terms. The question of the cause of a problem is important, but more important is the focus on worthwhile goals, that is, on what a person wants. The book aims to encourage readers to continually seek reasons for hope, as this is the prerequisite for wanting to find new meaning. The author varies the statement of the famous Viennese psychiatrist and human expert Viktor Frankl: "Being human means being able to change.".
