»A European with an Asian mind«
Bernhard began traveling through Asia at a time when countries like Laos or Vietnam were still off-limits to foreigners. Over the course of more than 15 years spent on this captivating continent, he gathered valuable experiences, overcame significant challenges, and eventually learned to think and act like an Asian. As time went on, he internalized the Eastern way of thinking to such an extent that a Chinese master referred to him as a »European with an Asian spirit«.

The International Bestseller
Captivated by the legend of the Shaolin monks, Bernhard travelled to China to live among them. He learned that through their minds the monks gain control over themselves and their surroundings.
In this book, Bernhard has distilled the monks’ incredible way of thinking into 13 life principles. By following this ancient path, you will discover the monks’ greatest lesson: the ultimate success is learning to fight so well that you do not need to fight at all.
