BEING IN AWE – Paperback
Discover Wonder in the Everyday
Today we know that wonder has a positive influence on our health, well-being, and resilience. More than a fleeting feeling, it is a stance toward life – one that grounds us in the present. As we grow older, wonder can serve as a regenerative force, renewing our connection to the here and now. How relevant this theme is for our time was just echoed by the US-edition of National Geographic Magazine, which titled a September 2025 article “The Life-Changing Power of AWE.”

Reader Reviews
We are at the beginning of an era that demands everything from us, but no longer more of the same. What if humanity, compassion and wonder were the keys to a future worth living. ‘Being in Awe’ is a plea for inner growth as a source of genuine progress – exactly the perspective we need today. Absolutely worth reading!
Sander Funneman, author of Electric Life and Electric Ecosystem
Wonder reconnects us with what truly matters. Valuable insights into stress and resilience which is especially relevant for teachers. I recommend it!
Dörthe Kickuth-Artelt, headmistress of two primary schools in Germany
Like a musical motif that lingers in the heart, this book unfolds a resonant interplay between wonder, art, and creativity. It is quietly stirring.
Volkmar Studtrucker, composer and cultural award winner
Experience the world with alert senses and discover its countless wonders! In medicine, we call this state ‘eustress’ -those positive impulses that lift the body and mind instead of burdening them. A book that not only inspires but also encourages you to embrace life with an open heart.
Irmgard Brieden, Doctor of General Medicine
