John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

There are over 280 million immigrants in the world - more than 10 million in Germany alone. For many, home is one of the most complicated words in existence. Through real stories and Augmented Reality, this book offers a glimpse into the life of an immigrant defined by political and socio-economic unrest, growing hostility, and the weight of being an Ausländer. Possibly forever. This story isn't just mine; it's that of friends, colleagues, and strangers I've encountered and interviewed on this journey - real people with real experiences. From the crushing bureaucracy that reduces you to a mere number to the deep longing for a home that may never love you back, these tales are about more than just moving abroad. They capture the essence of finding your place in a world that doesn't trust you. Whether you're flipping through pages or immersing yourself in the interactive content, you'll experience the highs, lows, and deeply human moments of those who dare to dream of belonging.
