The motivation to write the book „Know Yourself“ stemmed from a particular period in my life, which occurred in April 2020 during the partial lockdown due to Covid-19. Since I wasn’t working, I had free time which, like many others, I spent at home. However, that period turned out to be truly special for me.

While watching a television program about the famous Greek sanctuary of Delphi, I was struck by the story of the inscription at the entrance to Delphi which reads „Know Thyself,“ while on the other side of the entrance it says „…and you will know the gods within you.“ It is believed that this inscription originates from the renowned philosopher Socrates. This inspired me to write a unique book.

Additionally, I had a vision to combine my research and work from university, where I earned a master’s degree focusing on wellness, and create a significant work. As a professional licensed Life Coach, whose essence revolves around asking questions, I conceived of this book as a kind of workbook with questions.

Socrates’ method, which is based on asking questions so that individuals can arrive at their own conclusions through contemplation, also inspired me in writing this book. I began to write, and ideas flowed one after another. I became increasingly inspired and couldn’t stop jotting down so many creative thoughts.
