Der Selbst-Entwickler (DE)
DAS CORSSEN-SEMINAR
In his book, renowned coach Jens Corssen presents the criteria for successful “inner coaching” – an engaging and stimulating read for all those who want to ride the rollercoaster of life with joy and success. Lasting success – especially in times of rapid change – is based on making crucial changes to your way of thinking first and, consequently, taking responsibility for your actions! That is the core message that emanates from this book.
To be successful as a Self-Developer it means winning the inner game, moving from knowing to wanting and from wanting to doing. Accordingly, a contemporary definition of “success” centres on attaining a positive attitude towards life and developing your personality. Both factors are indispensable to reach your goals.
Das Corssen-Prinzip (DE)
The four tools for a joyful life
by Jens Corssen and Stephanie Ehrenschwendner
“Life is a roller coaster,” says Jens Corssen, psychologist and bestselling author. “When you are self-empowered, you enjoy the ride to the top with all your senses. And on the way down, you make sure you stay in good spirits.” The renowned coach for managers and top athletes has a simple solution for how to achieve this: our attitude towards life, other people and ourselves is a superpower that ensures we feel good and are successful both in business and in our private life. What’s more, what we previously tried to force happens as if of its own accord.
In this innovative book, the “Graphic Coach”, Jens Corssen summarises the essence of the “Self-Developer”, the result of his more than 50 years of work as a counsellor. It is a pointedly illustrated episodic story that has a self-coaching effect. Using the protagonists as examples, the reader experiences first-hand how to develop superpowers to free oneself from misery.
“Das Corssen-Prinzip” is many books in one: an inspiring story about four people struggling with life’s hurdles; coaching that can be experienced in text and images; and a playful self-help programme that leads people from feeling powerlessness to self-empowered. An entertaining and at the same time enlightening read.

Lebensfreude (DE)
How to affirm life despite all the difficulties
by Jens Corssen and Stephanie Ehrenschwendner
Those who compulsively seek happiness deprive themselves of the joy of life. This is because our ego, which is geared towards survival and control, stands in the way of experiencing pure joy. However, the more we engage in life-affirming and joyful moments, the more uplifted our mood becomes, so that many problems do not arise in the first place or resolve themselves.
Jens Corssen and Stephanie Ehrenschwendner have developed a mood therapy that allows you to maintain your zest for life – even when things aren’t going as well as you’d like. They tell the story of five protagonists who set out together on the path to greater contentment. Their empathetic co-operation creates a sounding board on which their mood gradually improves. Each and every one of them embarks on new life situations and expands their own wealth of experience through courageous and joyful experiences. An entertaining transformation book with a clear message: everyone can create their own personal zest for life.

Why the greatest of all feelings is actually an attitude
by Jens Corssen and Stephanie Ehrenschwendner
We are all united by the longing to be one, as the brain makes us believe in the intoxication of being in love. But the responsibility for joy of life and connectedness cannot be delegated to a partner. Love is a question of inner attitude, say Jens Corssen and Stephanie Ehrenschwendner, and show how to bring this conscious, adult form of love to life:
The process of transformation begins when we affirm life and remain in an uplifted mood – even in phases of singleness or relationship conflicts. It continues when we develop our uniqueness in all its facets. By releasing ourselves from obstructive patterns of thinking and behaviour, we can orient ourselves towards a successful togetherness. Then true connectedness can grow.
Familienglück (DE)
How we achieve a fulfilling parent-child relationship through recognition
by Jens Corssen and Thomas Fuchs
Personality coach meets child psychologist. Jens Corssen and Thomas Fuchs combine the best of their working practice to create a new coaching concept for parents and children: striving for a good mood in the here and now instead of projecting one’s own wishes and expectations onto one’s partner or children is the one key to a harmonious family life. In other words, live more in the present than plan for the future! The other is to develop a mindset of using words of appreciation and recognition and avoiding any form of devaluing partners and children. In an entertaining way, well-founded and with many concise examples from their therapeutic practice, the experts convey ways for successful parent-child relationships.
