Does it even make sense to talk about work-life balance today? In a time that probably stands for a smooth transition between private and professional life like no other? Dr Annelen Collatz and co-author Dr Karin Gudat explore this question in their book 'Lebensbalance finden. Wege zu mehr Zufriedenheit in Beruf und Privatleben - ein Ratgeber' (Hogrefe Verlag Göttingen).
To this end, the qualified psychologists also take a pleasantly different view of 'social networks', namely as what they are in the original sense: family, friendly or professional relationships. And they relate these to the different phases of life. The authors get to the bottom of the thesis of holistic balance: "There can be no one-size-fits-all recipe for happiness and contentment." They shed light on the scientific background and provide suggestions for exercises to help you find your own balance.
For coaches, counsellors and all those who are still searching: 'Finding life balance', available from buchkontext, bookshop in the Girardet Haus, Essenor in the Online shop.
