Fred Hilgenfeldt

Fred has always been curious about psychology and philosophy. He grew up in southern Germany in and out of different (boarding) schools before finishing school at the age of 15 in New Zealand. In his early years in university he felt rather lost, before a failed relationship led him to work through the remnants of his past and to search for peace and purpose in life. The answers and questions he found in the next decade in therapy, in researching the topic of trauma, and in spiritual endeavours are captured in this book. Nowadays he works in climate change advisory in Vienna, having consulted some of the biggest companies in Europe in environmental matters. Outside of work, he loves paragliding, playing the piano and writing (obviously!).
