📖 Reading sample from the autobiographical book by Alexander Glimm

1. „The moment when everything went quiet“

A look back at the day that changed everything - and marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.

This excerpt from Alexander Glimm's autobiographical book shows how loss and necessity shape a life. „I stood alone in front of my parents‚ grave. No consolation, no guidance, no voice that said: ‘This is how life works“. I had to find out for myself how to carry on when everything is quiet."

2. „Renunciation is not a loss“

An honest look at the years of lack - and why they were worth it.

„While others went out partying, I sat poring over differential equations. My car was a rusty box, while my former classmates were driving shiny new cars on their tuition fees. But I knew: I'm not doing without - I'm postponing. Consumption can wait. Character can't.“

3 „Faith without an institution“

A personal approach to spirituality - beyond dogma and church walls.

„I'm not religious in the traditional sense. My leaving the church was not a break with God, but with his people on the ground. For me, the Bible is not a law book, but a place where I found comfort - not because I was looking for it, but because I needed it.“

🧭 What can you expect in the book?

  • Honest insights into a life full of resistance
  • Motivating thoughts on discipline, renunciation and long-term goals
