Washing rituals, disinfectant spray, and rubber boots - in her first book, beloved public figure Hanka Rackwitz reported how various compulsions dictated her daily life. But now, after more than 20 years, the charming presenter has had enough of all her fears, compulsions, and neuroses. She made the decision to seek treatment in a clinic and faced her illness through a special confrontation therapy.

It is an honest and humorously written book that encourages all those affected and shows that setbacks in the struggle with oneself can shake you, but should never knock you down.
