Anselm Grün / Rudolph Walter (ed.)

What is Good Living

• Nothing is as it once was. How can things continue

after the shock of the quarantine? In the weeks of the

crisis, existential questions came to the fore, drastic

inquiries about our self-image and our lifestyle. What

helps in times of uncertainty and fear? Where have

we lost our measure and damaged ourselves? How do

we want to live in the future? Which are the main

values in our everyday life? In dealing with each other

and the environment? For ourselves? The crisis has

confronted us with our finiteness and raised fears. But

it has also shown what is really important. Anselm

Grün has long dealt with these questions while

keeping an eye on the times, in dialogue with people

and from the spiritual tradition.

Quarantine!

• Quarantine! Suddenly everything is different.

Suddenly you live in one place for weeks with the

same people. Nobody tried this before - did they? The

monks have been experiencing this situation for 1500

years and know how to live together in a confined

space. Anselm Grün explains what really helps -

appropriate instructions for everyone, whether single,

family or flat share. He shows how to avoid

arguments and how to use time, how to create

freedom and discover common goals and rituals. A

very important book not only for these quarantine

days, but also for other crisis situations.

Anselm Grün / Maria-M. Robben

Trace Your Roots

• Whether we trace our roots or allow ourselves to

be determined by our own past depends on us.

Only if we, as son or daughter, are able to come to

terms with our past and our relationship to our

parents, we are capable of discovering our

innermost capabilities, our own inner secret, our

true self. Being consciously aware of what

happened in the past is vital. If we were hurt – in

that hurt lies an opportunity. Once we have

grasped that we will experience a new energy

flowing through our bodies and we will know that

our life is unique and worth living.

Anselm Grün / Anton Lichtenauer (ed.)

Stay on the Track of Happiness

• Happiness is not a condition. It is a way. Being on

the road means: Every moment we live mindfully

is an opportunity to meet God. Because happiness

comes quietly and usually surprisingly. In the space

of silence or in the middle of life. It reaches for us

without us having to do anything about it. The

only thing that matters is that we are ready every

moment. When we are open, we experience

miracles about miracles. Again and again.

deeper level of experience. These texts are truly a

source of inspiration.

A Short Book of Helping Hands

caring for oneself; for everything must be in

The Heart of Spirituality

• Muslims and Christians live out their faith in the same

society. Are there any similarities? What obstacles

prevent understanding? The authors describe from

the heart of their own traditions ways that could lead

to an understanding of the other. Common issues and

central themes such as experience of God, the image

of Jesus, Mohammed or Mary, religious practice,

tolerance and testimony are viewed from the

perspective of their respective religions. The aim of

this book is to gain a deeper understanding of one

another.

Calmness

cope with this process is an exceedingly difficult

chapter in our lives. Body and soul are important,

confidence, but also trust in other people and in

the deepest reason of our existence, to which we

are still attached in death.

These objects can suddenly become meaningful to

us, we recognize them as a symbol for something

and they radiate new brilliance.

from or resign oneself to one’s fate, but to stay

To Grieve Means to Love

• After the death of someone close to us our

emotions are in turmoil. Feelings of anger, hurt

and guilt all get mixed up in the pain of our loss.

Anselm Grün encourages us to allow our grief

space so we can grow closer to the person we

have lost, learn to understand what was important

to him/her and become closer to our loved one in

a new way. Anselm Grün uses rituals to gently

guide the bereaved back to love

A Spiritual Approach to Dreams

• Anselm Grün and Hsin-Ju Wu examine the images

and language of dreams, outlining their

significance for our inner journey in the light of

Western and Eastern wisdom. Dreams are not

simply indicators of our current situations; they

can also be pointers to our inner consciousness. As

“God’s forgotten language” they can be places

where we experience something very powerful.

Numerous examples.

Transform Your Fear

• Fear can be a useful alarm system, but it can also

imprison us. It prevents us leading fulfilled lives.

An important goal in our lives is to liberate

ourselves from such fears. Anselm Grün does not

use a standard form of therapy to deal with fear,

but turns rather to spiritual paths to liberate us: by

looking at the Bible, listening to Jesus to see how

he dealt with people's fears.

Places of Strength

• Certain places have a longstanding special

attraction, such as deserts, pyramids or stone

circles. They emanate a sense of empowerment

and strength. Cathedrals and monasteries are

often built on former cult sites where the spirit of

faith is palpable in their walls. Places and churches

of pilgrimage or cemeteries can draw us under

their spell, as can a quiet park bench.
