Enthusiasm, diving in, absorbing, and living out – this describes the cycle that so-called scanners continuously experience. These multi-talented individuals find it difficult to commit, as they might miss out on something exciting. They are constantly in production mode, which can be exhausting for themselves as well as for those around them. Annette Bauer explains what characterizes scanner personalities. How do they think and feel, what life tasks and opportunities do they have? This information is helpful for both the individuals themselves and those in their surroundings. As a counterbalance to the restlessness in scanner life, the author offers the teachings of mindfulness. Many practical tips and mindfulness-based exercises contribute to a better self-understanding and promote greater self-care.
