Lightness for Superheroes

Understand relationship dynamics and discover lightness

Superheroes are strong, quick-thinking and often remarkably resilient. They keep going, make decisions, come to the rescue, take responsibility and stay on top of things even when others have long since given up. Yet this very strength comes at a price: relationships become unbalanced, feelings are overlooked, closeness becomes exhausting and lightness seems out of reach.

In this book, Regina Schrott explores why quick-thinking people often endure more tension than others — and why this can lead to pressure, drama and misunderstandings in everyday life, romantic relationships, families and professional relationships. Using clear concepts such as the drama triangle, the willingness to empathise, the five love languages, closeness and distance, and action and reaction, she translates complex relationship dynamics into accessible, practical language.

This book is not an invitation to achieve even more. It is an invitation to understand your own part in the game, use your superpower more consciously and reconnect with yourself and others. For greater calm, greater clarity and a genuine sense of lightness.
