Future courage - How we can grow with AI
'Future courage' is a clear, practical guide to consciously dealing with AI beyond media hype and science fiction. The book dispels myths, explains clearly what today's AI can do and where its limits lie. And shows how we can deal with it confidently in everyday life. Structured in three parts, it leads from ‘What is AI really?’ to ‘Humans and machines in everyday life’ and ‘The future belongs to conscious humans’. The focus is on human strengths - creativity, relationships, meaning - and concrete steps on how individuals and organisations can integrate AI in a meaningful way. Zukunftsmut combines technology, ethics and spirituality and invites us to actively shape the future - open, awake and together. The result of co-creative work between the author and AI, it is a book about orientation instead of dogma - and about the attitude that makes us strong as human beings.

Man.Machine.Courage - Leadership when AI becomes a team member
This book sheds light on how leadership changes when AI agents become part of teams. It explains what agentic AI is, how human-digital teams work and why traditional leadership models are reaching their limits in this new reality. Instead of control and perfection, what is needed today is existential leadership - an attitude of presence, clarity and relational skills that also includes the non-human. ‘Man.Machine.Courage’ offers no ready-made answers, but rather impulses on how managers can maintain trust, resilience and genuine humanity in the digital transformation. It shows that leadership in the future will be less a question of technology and more a question of awareness. An encouraging book for all those who are ready to rethink leadership - humanly, consciously and courageously.

All of me - The courageous path to inner truth in a networked world
This book is a call to no longer lose ourselves in functioning or roles, but to recognise our own whole self. It guides us through key areas of life - body, soul, work, relationships, power and health - and shows how we can live authenticity and awareness in the digital age. Instead of ready-made answers, there are impulses, reminders and suggestions for self-reflection. ‘All of me’ is not a theory, but an invitation to become still, to listen and to take your own inner journey seriously. Anyone who engages with this book will find guidance and the courage to embody their own truth in everyday life.
