>> Just Published: Hope Is - New Book Available Now ✨ A Collection of Quotes About Hope in English and German! 📚

Image
Hello everyone, Welcome back to your favorite literature blog. My second book ' Hope is ' or ' Hoffnung ist ' is out now. Exactly 3 years after my very first original book ' Thoughts ' I am following up with this one. Hmm... what does the world need most right now? Honestly, I don't even know where to start. I can only work with what I have, where I am right now. I would say one of the most crucial things is hope, so I compiled 70 quotes about it. Each quote is illustrated with a nice font on a colorful background — either a photo or plain colors. I made two versions: one in English and one in German. With this book, I hope to inspire and uplift the reader. If even one person feels better and encouraged after reading this book, my mission has been accomplished. Find it in the My Music and Books section of the blog.  Within this article, you can see a few examples of the content.  I will have another book recommendation for you later this week.  Also, I am c...

>> Unleashing Potential: How Lisa Nichols Inspires Personal Growth and Empowerment

Image
Hey everyone, Welcome back. I am just posting this to say that I continue to be inspired by Lisa Nichols and her work. Sometimes, when I watch her videos I even take notes. Her Mindvalley course 'Speak & Inspire' is the best one I have ever seen on the subject of public speaking. And while I have no plans to do any public speaking anytime soon, I am currently working on a new book. I have time for my creative projects now. Check out Lisa's YouTube channel if you like. Bio: 'Lisa Nichols is a renowned motivational speaker, author and coach known for her work in personal development. She is best recognized for her appearances in the movie The Secret , where she shared her insights on the law of attraction and achieving success. As the founder and CEO of Motivating the Masses, she helps individuals and organizations unlock their full potential.

>> Reflections on Attending My First Live TED Talk(s) at TEDxLondon's Festival of Ideas 💡

Image
Hello everyone and welcome back - to your favorite Blog! After watching many interesting TED talks on YouTube over the years and often wondering, why they seemingly never took place where I lived and why I had never been able to attend one, it finally happened this year! What an informative start to 2025. The event was called: 'TEDxLondon - Festival of Ideas' and took place last Sunday. I also heard they are in their 6th year already! The day was split into two sessions, with several speakers taking the stage in the morning and the other half after lunch. On one hand, I thought it was good to learn more about a variety of issues I was not deeply aware of up until this point; on the other hand, I felt somewhat helpless learning about yet another crisis that I might not be able to do much about. This is why I appreciate when a TED talk outlines a specific course of action towards the end, so you know where to start if you want to do something about it. Or when speakers share info...

>> IBTN Book Club: Presenting To You My First Book! 📚 Thoughts 📚 I Guess I Am An Author Now 🌎

Image
 Hello everybody and dear readers! During the lockdown I got even more into Graphic Design. I was working with and discovering different fonts. I could not really share my thoughts as much as I would have liked to.  This is why I have put together my first book. It is called THOUGHTS and it is a collection of 100 illustrated original thoughts by me. I realized, that in combination with the right image and font, a thought or statement has a different effect or impact. I ended up with so many images I created, that the collection would be even too much for my Blog to handle. Even though you can already see a few examples of these illustrations on the right side of the Blog main page. So if you enjoy those - I have plenty more! This book will make you think, add a splash of color to your day and you will get to know me better. 🙂 It will definitely be entertaining. Many of my favorite leaders and coaches published their first book early on in life.  Now this is my firs...

>> Happy Valentine's Day! Deeply In Love Or Single By Choice - You Are Lovable! 💕

Image
Hello everybody! Welcome back to your favourite Blog. It is Valentine's Day once again and our mission today is to remind you, however the situation might be: You are lovable! 💖  There is something about you that only you have. There is no one else in the world exactly like you. And if you are still feeling down, I'd hate to bring the sperm story.. but I have to. When you were made, 5 million other sperms competed with you in a race. And you won! This is why you are here today! I mean what are the chances?! There is a reason for that. Definitely! Oh and congratulations for being the chosen one.  😊 If you are part of a couple, I don't think you necessarily have to do something super special just because it is Valentine's Day. You could show that you care with little signs at any other time or on any other day too for that matter, not just because some shopping centre poster is telling you to buy something for your partner RIGHT NOW. On the o...
