Staying calm in the face of stress, dissatisfaction, or worries would be a good response to the demands of professional and personal life. Instead, a critical view of oneself often intensifies inner unrest. An important factor for calmness is therefore to appreciate even unpleasant sensations and traits. Barbara Burghardt, a systemic consultant and NLP coach, presents an unconventional approach: her images and stories often lead to surprising shifts in perspective, even regarding initially unwanted feelings. Clear factual texts briefly explain the background. Effective reflective questions deepen the impulses and naturally lead to concrete individual action steps. The reader will rediscover buried potentials and find a way to remain calm even in challenging situations through a new perspective on their own needs and thoughts.
