Crises are part of life. But while many experience them as a painful interruption or even as a personal setback, Markus Schall shows a different perspective in this extraordinary book: Understood correctly, crises can become profound turning points. Opportunities that enable growth. And moments in which our thoughts, actions and feelings can be reorganized.
With a keen sense of human experience, combined with practical life wisdom and reflective use of AI, the author takes the reader on a journey through inner landscapes - without pointing a finger, but with sincere encouragement. The book is not intended as an academic work, but as a true-to-life companion for anyone who wants to realign themselves - be it after separation, illness, financial difficulties or social upheaval.
A personal book - and yet universally valid
"Crises as turning points" is deeply rooted in the author's personal biography, but remains open enough for every reader to find themselves. Markus Schall does not report from theory, but from his own experience. He describes how he himself went through crises - and what sustained, changed and strengthened him in the process. The calm, clear tone of the book invites readers to question their own biographical points without feeling lectured.
Diversity of topics that connects
The book covers a remarkable range of topics - from dealing with loss to the insidious effects of early childhood influences, family dynamics, the role of inner attitude and strategies for resilience in the digital age. Special attention is also paid to new tools for self-reflection, above all the use of AI for clarifying thoughts, finding structure and inspiration.
In a separate chapter, Schall sheds light on how AI systems can serve as mental mirrors to sort out trains of thought or develop new ideas - without replacing human depth and intuition. The use of artificial intelligence is not presented as a solution to all problems, but as a valuable addition to a reflective everyday life.
Small tools - big impact
The book is packed with practical impulses: thought experiments, questions for self-clearance, tips on helpful micronutrients such as lithium orotate or vitamin D3, as well as suggestions on how to (re)establish a stable, clear inner attitude. Understanding family roles, recognizing manipulative patterns and practicing new ways of thinking are also dealt with in concrete terms - with respect for the past and confidence in the future.
A silent companion for noisy times
In a world in which orientation is becoming increasingly difficult, "Crises as Turning Points" offers no noise, but silence, depth and structure. It is a quiet but powerful book - written for people who are searching. Not for quick solutions, but for an honest compass.
