This book enlighteningly connects the foundations of ancient Eastern wisdom with the best that modern psychology and coaching have to offer. Falk Mieschendahl addresses the age-old human challenges—questions of meaning, fear of life, relationships, and self-realization—with refreshing clarity and precision on entirely new paths. In all his analyses and proposed solutions, he emphasizes the importance of the present moment. A painful look back is just as unhelpful as a comforting glance toward a supposedly better future. Problems exist today and should be addressed today. Drawing on years of experience in coaching, the author places his practical exercises at the center of his discussions. He successfully reveals wonderful, spontaneously helpful ways to cope with inner crises or states of exhaustion.
