BACK TO REAL LIFE
About self-optimisation, comparison and the quiet path back to oneself
Volume 1 of the series "The Quiet Path"
🌿 A book for people who function – and slowly lose themselves in the process.
We live in an age of constant optimisation.
The body becomes a project, life a stage, personal value a comparison. Everything seems measurable, visible, assessable. And yet, for many, a quiet feeling grows: something about all this no longer feels right.
This first volume of the series The Quiet Path begins exactly there.
Not with solutions. Not with advice. But with honest observation.
📘 Back to Real Life is not a classic self-help book.
It offers no methods, no exercises, no promises. Instead, it opens a quiet space in which readers can once again perceive their own experience – beyond comparison, performance pressure, and self-optimisation.
✨ Topics explored in this volume:
- quiet alienation in modern everyday life
- life as a shop window and constant comparison
- the body as a project rather than an experience
- inner restlessness despite outward order
- loneliness amid visibility
- measure, simplicity, and trust without proof
This book invites you to slow down.
Not to live less – but to be truly present again.
🧭 The Quiet Path is written for people
who do not want to become louder,
who do not need to appear better,
but who wish to live more honestly.
Not a motivation book.
Not coaching.
But a quiet companion for those who sense that real change does not begin outside.
📖 Volume 1 of a calm book series – self-contained, profound, and clear.
Ideal for readers seeking orientation rather than instructions.
🌱 Back to Real Life –
for a life that does not need to be constantly proven.
From the book series The Quiet Path by Lichtinger.
