What is one book that has significantly influenced your life and why?
One of the books that had the most impact on me was "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. This book explores the two thinking systems that guide our decisions: the fast, intuitive emotional system (System 1) and the slow, rational, logical system (System 2). Kahneman provides valuable insights into human cognition, trust, and decision-making processes by explaining how these systems work and how often they fail. This understanding has greatly influenced the way I interpret and respond to human interactions, decisions and actions, allowing me to provide ever more effective support.

There are many books that have had a profound impact on me. One of my favorites is "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience," written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I also deeply love the works of Viktor Frankl, which resonates even more since I live in Vienna. Another influential book is "Full Catastrophe Living" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Of course, there are also the literary giants like Hesse, Proust, and Dostoevsky, but that's another story. These authors have significantly shaped my perspective on life, mindfulness, and psychology.
