PUR: Life is a journey, not a destination.

Ten insights from a stormy break

We sailed around the world for five years on our sailing ship Trinity. The time out turned out to be completely different than expected. What sounds like relaxation turned into an adventure with violent lows, nightmarish scenes in the middle of the ocean and countless storms, including emotional ones.

PUR is two books in one: In the first part of the book we describe our turbulent experiences. In the second part we share our findings and show how everyone can find their way to a happier, more fulfilling life.

PUR is experience-based self-development literature. More information and reading samples on the Publisher website.

What the Publisher writes about PUR – excerpts:

"They thought it would be a break on the high seas. It became a study in happiness research...

Kerstin and Robert led the perfect life in the creative industries.
They had everything you could dream of, or at least that's what everyone believed.
Then everything turned out differently.

It's now or never, they said to themselves - and set sail.
It was a real adventure with many ups and downs, with nightmarish scenes in the middle of the Atlantic and countless storms, including emotional ones.
But it became much more: through experiencing and processing, they discovered what is really important - and that the secret of a happy life lies much less in external circumstances than in ourselves.
They began to support their personal insights with the latest research and came closer to the secret of living a fulfilling life.

Kerstin and Robert are back after five years at sea. They're just starting up again. Driven by changing values and equipped with the latest findings Positive psychology.

In this book they share both: the adventure of their time out - and the insights of a long journey, at the end of which there is no destination, but a beginning...

Consumer Insight

Emotional psychological foundation and practical instructions for communication development

Orientation towards consumer insight increases the effectiveness of all brand activities. But what exactly is “consumer insight”? The previously intangible phenomenon is clearly defined, operationalized and brought to life using practical examples in Kerstin Foell's dissertation. The book succeeds in integrating theoretical-methodological science and practical-current relevance.
