Frank Berzbach is unrivalled in his ability to unravel complex philosophical, psychological and spiritual contexts and to formulate them in a generally understandable way that makes reading them a pure pleasure. However, this alone does not explain the success of his encouragement to mindfulness: His ability to build up a deep empathy with his readers without knowing them in detail is certainly another reason why The Art of Living a Creative Life has become the mindfulness book par excellence. And then there is his "spirit of enquiry": Like a loving anthropologist, he observes and analyses us creatives and ultimately seems to know - and understand! - than we do ourselves. He uses what he learns about us to lead us to self-knowledge. He holds a mirror up to us and focusses our gaze on the opportunities. It almost seems as if he can remove obstacles with his sentences that previously seemed insurmountable. Sometimes he straightens the perspective with a single, cuddly sentence - and the problem seems smaller. Frank Berzbach deliberately and consistently dispenses with advice and practical tips, leaving the questions of life with the reader, and that is where they belong. But his book becomes a good friend in the course of reading. Someone you enjoy listening to. Who understands and appreciates you. This book can change your life - and that goes far beyond a cup of tea.
