Opis

What can I say? This is the most intense work of my life. I have died several times and yet I am alive. I have faced my greatest fears and I have grown tremendously. Saying no to your family and yes to your self is one of the hardest things I did in my life. I spend several weeks in isolation, to dive into my innermost darkness. My goal was to find the root of my depression, which I was struggling with for years. My work, my life, my self. All captured in this stunning autobiographical memory of a person that seized to exist and was reborn through his art. I truly wish for anybody to experience such freedom and to realise that life can be so much more than what we make it out to be. I could say my life is complete and yet, there is so much more to discover. Letting go of my traumatic past and seeing it for what it is and was, was a necessary step. Beautifully stunning and controversial. Impossible and yet correct. What this book gives you, no-one can say, least of all I.

O autorze

Reusch, ChristopherMy name is Christopher Reusch. I was born on 6 February 1989 in Lüdenscheid. In 2014, I completed my bachelor's degree in environmental engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Bingen. Afterwards, I decided to complete another degree programme, which would take me to South Africa. There I spent about 1.5 years researching vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) in the South African savannah. I then graduated in 2020 with an M.Sc. in Wildlife. After my studies, I felt that I was different. After all, I had lived for several months in a small nature reserve, in the South African savannah. Surrounded by crocodiles, giraffes, snakes, scorpions, monkeys and various species of antelopes and birds, I had made experiences that changed my life. Experiences that changed me before I even realised it. The time during my studies helped me to get to know myself better and I went from being a committed atheist to a spiritual person. I became heavily involved with the teachings of spiritual masters and was initiated into Reiki Grade 1 in March 2020. But the journey did not stop there and so, in October 2020, I decided to turn my life upside down once again. I made the decision to spend as much time as I could on the question of what I actually wanted, until I had an answer. I found this answer and it was not an easy path to get there. I reached my limits several times and had to get to know myself all over again. Finally I knew that I wanted to write a book and so I wrote the first draft of a book called 'The Book of Fear'. Who am I, you ask? Maybe I am my achievements or my experiences. Probably I am the only one who knows who I am. One thing is clear though. I have learned to question the world that surrounds me and to draw my own conclusions. I don't fit into any pigeonhole because I am an individual. I am someone who has learned to recognise my limits and redefine myself. If you want to know more about me, my podcast and other projects, take a look at my website: www.christopher-reusch.com
