simplicity of happiness · happy#206 – insides into coaching These years lockdowns turn out to have something quite positive for me. I don‘t think that I have stayed for so long at the same place in the last 10 years.That meant for me not going on any adventures, not traveling and not starting anything new.

happy#201 – symptom or cause?

  • by

simplicity of happiness · happy#201 – symptom or cause? Don’t we often mistake the symptoms for the cause?Somehow this seems to be a a very humanly behavior because we don’t only do it for ourselves.I have recently been on a road trip through Germany and I was shocked to see how many forests all over the country where dying. A result of the heat I thought and a research showed that they actually die because… Read More »happy#201 – symptom or cause?

simplicity of happiness · happy#happy#197 – bang for the buck With a lot of quiet time there is space to think. About life and what it means to us, to me.What will happen when we don‘t put the money on the table and expect the most for it.

simplicity of happiness · happy#192 – islands As you know, I love the ocean. I love sailing and it makes a perfect metaphor for life.
