THIS IS THE BOOKThe Mindful Startup takes you on a journey towards a more human approach to driving change. Gentle, smart and equipped with scientific insights, Malte Krohn guides you on this expedition of creating a more sustainable future from the present moment. Are you ready to kindly meet the dark side of entrepreneurial passion with mindfulness, compassion and your whole self?
While tackling the external challenge of developing ideas and creating a viable business, entrepreneurs are also dealing with tough "internal challenges". Our world will need all the ideas out there to tackle the pressing issues that our society faces. We always relied on creative destroyers, innovative troublemakers and bold entrepreneurs to pave the way into a better future. Yet, society is not asking for a small favor. Startups are built by passion, but there is a catch - a dark side of it. Driving change can be tedious, stressful and it might take its toll on our mental health and well-being! Our minds are not designed for constant striving and we need to balance our ambitions with contentment. Our mental, physical and social well-being requires us to develop a better understanding of our own human experience, take self-responsibility and appreciate our own boundaries.
In this book, Malte Krohn shares some of the latest scientific findings, plus his own vision on how to successfully deal with all this and truly create the future from the present moment. To turn this book into a shared journey, each chapter includes exercises that might give you a nudge into your present moment or closer to your own path of mindful change. Moreover, five chapters include conversations with experts who share their own personal stories and wisdom.
