In jedem von uns liegt ein ganz besonderes Potenzial. Im Laufe unseres Lebens kommen wir jedoch von unserem wahren Wesen und unserer inneren Wahrheit ab, wir verheddern uns aufgrund limitierender Glaubenssätze und fehlendem Vertrauen in uns selbst und den eigenen Weg. Dana Schwandt zeigt uns, wie wir unser wahres Potenzial wieder entschlüsseln und nachhaltig eine Transformation in unserem Alltag bewirken und leben können.

Mit Leichtigkeit dem Leben eine neue Richtung geben. Haben wir nicht alle manchmal das Gefühl, dass das wahre Leben an uns vorbeizieht? Höchste Zeit, das Steuer wieder selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Carolyn Boyes zeigt, wie wir uns in einer Welt der vielen Möglichkeiten von Stress und Hektik abwenden können, und unseren eigenen Weg finden. Mithilfe leicht anwendbarer Werkzeuge, Selbsterforschungs- und Achtsamkeitsübungen wird es möglich, dem Leben bewusst eine neue Richtung zu geben.

Es ist so einfach - und hat doch eine verblüffende Wirkung: bewusst dankbar zu sein für alles, was uns an Gutem widerfährt. Die kleinen Übungen von Dr. Robert Emmons lassen uns erkennen, dass in unserem Leben viel mehr Schönes verborgen liegt, als wir glauben. So gelingt es uns in kurzer Zeit, alles Positive wahrzunehmen, als Geschenk zu betrachten und wirklich wertzuschätzen - und dabei wie von selbst spürbar optimistischer, gesünder und glücklicher zu werden.

Einmal kurz innehalten kann so wertvoll sein in unserem hektischen, dicht gedrängten Alltag: um Abstand zu gewinnen, durchzuatmen, das Gefühl für uns selbst und für unsere eigenen Wünsche und Bedürfnisse zurückzugewinnen. Mit den minutenschnellen Übungen und Meditationen von Danielle Marchant gelingt es uns, ganz ins Hier und Jetzt zu kommen - in uns ruhend, konzentriert und fokussiert. Und wir sind bestens gewappnet, um mit innerer Gelassenheit, einem klaren Geist und neuer Kraft alle Anforderungen des täglichen Lebens entspannt zu meistern.

Älterwerden ist nicht gerade beliebt. Doch in Wahrheit ist es die Chance unseres Lebens für Wachstum und Reife. Bestsellerautor Ruediger Dahlke zeigt, wie wir die letzte Lebensphase nutzen, um endlich aus dem ewigen Hamsterrad der Beschleunigung auszusteigen und sie als das ultimative Sabbatical bewusst und freudvoll zu erleben. Er nimmt uns die Angst vor den typischen Altersbeschwerden und gibt uns alles an die Hand, was wir für erfülltes Altwerden in Weisheit und Gesundheit brauchen: von der richtigen Ernährung bis zu Strategien für ein sinnerfülltes Leben.
