In life we have the role of protagonist: experiences, dealings and relations define my reality. But at the same time we are also spectators and philosophers: how do I go through these experiences, what moves me to act or not to act, how do people perceive me or I them and am I meaningful in this world? This book contains these perspectives, my life as a protagonist but also as an observer looking through the lens of Eastern wisdom while living in a modern setting. With the practical exercises at the end, the reader is invited to develop or recognize his/her own wisdom.
