How to Work on Oneself
A Sketch
About the Book
How can we learn more effectively? How can we best work on ourselves? How do we grow? That is the subject of this brief book, this short sketch by interim philosopher and world traveler, Jens Oliver Meiert. A light treatise on personal growth, he goes over 20 paths to get to know ourselves, for “we are okay as we are, but we can always improve.”
→ This is the book if you opt to explore different ways of driving yourself a little crazy.
