Konstantin Wecker - For the Sake of Love

Sometimes combative, sometimes contemplative, sometimes gentle – always passionate: This is how the audience knows and loves the poet and musician Konstantin Wecker. He is not only a gifted songwriter but also an important voice for an entire generation. An unyielding advocate and fighter against war and fascism. For decades, he has been standing up for justice and peace, as well as for a more mindful and loving coexistence through his songs and texts.

With his new book "For the Sake of Love" (bene! / Droemer Knaur), Konstantin Wecker reflects on the balance of his life.

For the Sake of Love – a book about a lifelong search: for meaning, for the "more than everything," for the great mystery, for love, for paths to inner and outer peace. For Wecker, love is the key to a successful life. And to making the world a different, a better place.

In his new book, Konstantin Wecker does not shy away from dark times: depression, melancholy, alcohol addiction, drug highs, numerous crashes, delusions, anger, sadness. He writes about a decades-long search and a turning point at the edge of the abyss.

A moving book from the pen of one of the greatest song poets of our time, who continually inspires tens of thousands of fans to believe in the good and to stand up for it.
