"Mindful Murder"

"When you stand at the door, you are at the door. When you argue with your wife, you are arguing with your wife. That is mindfulness. If you prefer to use the time you spend standing in front of my door to argue with your wife in your thoughts, then that is not mindfulness. That is just foolish." Joschka Breitner

About the content:

Björn Diemel faces significant challenges: As a lawyer for a particularly violent mafia boss, he usually receives assignments that require great legal flexibility. He hardly sees his young daughter Emily. His wife Katharina envisioned a very different life by his side. So she sends him to mindfulness coach Joschka Breitner: to live in the here and now, to set priorities, to detach from everything that does him harm. Easier said than done? Not for Björn! He takes the newly acquired principles surprisingly literally and removes obstacles with astonishing consistency. Amidst meditation, murder, and management, he discovers a new quality of life. Along the way, he realizes: Mindfulness can be deadly.
