I’m very happy to announce the pub­li­ca­tion of Die Acht­same Rev­o­lu­tion — the Ger­man ver­sion of The Mind­ful Rev­o­lu­tion. The book is avail­able as an eBook for Kin­dle Read­er and apps as well as in a paper­back version.

Hav­ing received first feed­back after the launch of The Mind­ful Rev­o­lu­tion, it became clear that I would trans­late it and pub­lish a Ger­man ver­sion, too. Due to many tech­ni­cal terms, most of the neu­ro­sci­en­tif­ic area, my the­sis becomes eas­i­er to trans­port and under­stand when deliv­ered in a native language.

For me, per­son­al­ly, it was a high­ly inter­est­ing expe­ri­ence to first of all write The Mind­ful Rev­o­lu­tion in Eng­lish — and I’m total­ly aware that I’d never match the style of a native speak­er, but it was a nice chal­lenge, any­way — and then to re-translate it into my native lan­guage, Ger­man. In prin­ci­ple, you could com­pare this endeav­or to the “Whis­pers” game: one per­son starts telling some­thing to anoth­er per­son, and so on. The final out­put always dif­fers great­ly from what was orig­i­nal­ly put in. In my case, I had to re-word much of the orig­i­nal The Mind­ful Rev­o­lu­tion con­tent in order to pro­duce not only a com­pre­hen­si­ble but a flu­ent read­ing expe­ri­ence in Die Acht­same Rev­o­lu­tion.

I hope, my Ger­man read­ers have fun read­ing Die Acht­same Rev­o­lu­tion, and I’d be happy to receive their feedback!
