Perspectives of personal growth

The book project "Perspectives of personal growth. A small coaching narrative" is a non-fiction book about personal growth and about the own perspective of Swiss professionals in the field of coaching, therapy and mediation regarding professional help in this area.

What is personal growth?

Every person defines it differently. However, many desire to be a better person and/or find fulfillment in certain areas of life.

Yet, what many people forget or do not know is that some difficulties in our lives are shaped by situations in the past or present. In order to grow personally, one must go on a journey of discovery. Sometimes traumas come to light that then need to be dealt with, sometimes they are simply additional intrinsic resources that need to be uncovered.

This book is intended to encourage people to embark on their journey of discovery. It is divided into two parts: The first part is a "fable for adults about personal growth and coaching", and the second part contains thoughts from various professionals on the topic of personal growth and the given disciplines.

The reader should be surprised to read with the eyes of an adult and the heart of a child. The story is deliberately kept as a fable, so as not to trigger the reader too much and to allow a safe discovery of the subject matter.

In the second part, the reader can then get an idea of how coaching, psychotherapy or mediation are lived in Switzerland.

The co-authors in the second part are all qualified professionals in their fields and all work in Switzerland.
