Self love 2.0.
"One step, just one step and it would all be over"
Have you ever felt stuck in cycles of self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional turmoil? That's where I was — standing on the edge, questioning if life had anything left to offer me. And this book is my story.
Self-Love 2.0 is not just another self-help book—in this raw and deeply personal journey, I share how I pulled myself from rock bottom, and rebuilt my life from the ground up. I explore the mindsets, behaviors, and perspectives that kept me stuck—and the powerful shifts that set me free. Through self-discovery, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of happiness, I found my way back to a life worth living. I share my struggles with heartbreak, self-worth, and even suicidal thoughts, as well as the learnings that enabled me to finally develop a step-by-step guide to overcoming limiting beliefs, rewiring my brain, and cultivating unshakable confidence.
This book dives into:
✔️ Understanding attachment styles and breaking free from toxic relationship patterns
✔️ Managing overthinking, anxiety, and emotional spirals
✔️ Building true self-worth through action, not just affirmations
✔️ Reprogramming your subconscious mind for long-term change
✔️ The balance between self-acceptance and self-improvement
Unlike other self-help books that only tell you what to do, Self-Love 2.0 shows you how to actually implement change and take control of your emotions and thoughts. If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or stuck in self-sabotage, this book is your roadmap to a more confident, fulfilling life.
"Raw and deeply personal account of facing the harsh times and understanding self-love deeply. Relatable, and has perspective that just makes sense!"

Foreword
This is it. Rain is dropping on my head as I stare down into the dark water beneath me. Despite the rain, it is a warm late summer night. Nevertheless, my body shivers—I am freezing. My head hurts from the relentless thought loops of the past days. I am full of regret and have been beating myself up for weeks at this point. It feels as if I am laser-focused all the time and, simultaneously, as if I am never truly present. It is a truly exhausting emotional state. Ironically, coming here with determination actually has a relaxing effect. I feel as if I have finally regained control. At least now, I can put an end to my suffering. Read more...
Regret - the great danger of self-reflection
If I had to name the most painful feelings I experienced, regret would definitely top the list. Not only does it hurt, but it’s also exhausting and at least for me proved to be extremely persistent. The definition provided by two Dutch psychologists perfectly encapsulates my personal experience, as they describe regret as an emotion that one uses to punish oneself. Read more...
Why every self-help book sucks
As I started trying to turn my life around, I quickly turned to reading. However, the silver bullet I had been looking for was missing in the infinite space of self-help books. All the books I read seemed to miss one crucial ingredient: how to actually implement what I just had learned – a clear pathway out of my misery. When I first started out, I was looking for concrete answers to my questions: how do I stop myself from experiencing thoughts that drag me down? How do I deal with anxiety and negative emotions? How do I start acting differently? How do I start to enjoy life? And while none of the books I read provided concrete answers to these questions, they still played a crucial role in designing my own way out of my suffering. Read more...
Forgiveness
If regret had been one of the greatest struggles in my self-reflection journey, learning to forgive and be more compassionate with myself has been its antidote. Regret used to push me down a downward spiral, leading to self-hate and constant self-criticism, that I could hardly brake until I forgave myself. Read more...
3 Books that helped me the most
In my journey towards a healthier mind, I tried lots of things and while my search for a silver bullet had been futile, reading, reading a lot, was a cornerstone of my progress. Three books especially helped me change the way I think, feel and act. I highly recommend them to anyone.
It Takes What it Takes - Trevor Moawand
The book taught me a highly valubale new way of thinking - neutral thinking. Personally, I found it way easier to apply than positive thinking and it certianly helped me to stop my thought loops.
Thinking Fast an Slow - Daniel Kahnemann
A classic! This book is such a great read - I would recommend it without any further motives. Interesting and so much to learn. In my journey, it helped me understand how my subconscious works and provided the basis to design my strategy towards healthier thoughts.
The Art of Loving - Erich Fromm
I struggled so hard with my beleifs about love. I knew they had been flawed but I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until I read "The Art of Loving" that the picture started to become less blurry for me.
