Books

There is nothing like books to inspire you and make you reflect upon life, and that's why we love both reading, writing, and publishing them.

As a small, independent publisher, we focus entirely on the niche of self-discovery, but within that we take a wide interest in the different variations of it.

Self-discovery books can be many things, and whether it's a memoir, a fantasy novel, or a collection of graphical poems is not important to us, as long as it involves the process of self-discovery.

Instead, we care about the focus and quality of the exploration itself. We like it when a book challenges the boundaries of life as we know it. Simply because we know from experience that it's where self-discovery begins.

Our focus is international, and we primarily operate in English, but we publish a few books in Danish too.

Det Vingede Menneske

Author: Michell Léon Stjernberg

Genre: Memoir

Language: Danish

Publishing year: 2009/2019

I det tidlige forår 2006 drager forfatteren Michell Léon Stjernberg til Andalusien i Spanien som ung journalist for at interviewe den berømte seer Calle Montsegur. Formålet er at være ghost-writer på en bog om hans virke og filosofi, men det står hurtigt klart for dem begge, at skæbnen har ført dem sammen af helt andre årsager. Mødet ender med, at Calle Montsegur tager den nysgerrige, men også tvivlende journalist ind under sin vinge og indvier ham i sin metode som seer.

Det bliver begyndelsen på en lang rejse ind i såvel den spirituelle som den videnskabelige verden i en hektisk søgen efter rationelle svar på de tilsyneladende uforklarlige evner og fænomener, som Michell Léon Stjernberg oplever hos sin spirituelle mentor. Undervejs udvikler de to et tæt venskabeligt bånd, og da Calle Montsegur dør 18 måneder senere, står bogens forfatter tilbage med selve udkrystalliseringen af hans metode.

Han beslutter sig for at tage på sin egen rejse ind i det ukendte for at blive klogere på sine evner og bliver til sidst konfronteret med det ultimative valg. Tør han tage springet ud over den intellektuelle kant og lade åndens vinger bære ham videre?

Bridging the Future

Author: Michell Léon

Genre: Non-fiction / Self-development

Language: English

Publishing year: 2019

What happens when you combine self-development with the design of symbols? You harness non-linear thinking and have fun while doing it. Bridging the Future is a book about the mindset of tomorrow, where the very thing that defines us as humans, the ability to think and feel, is under threat from emerging technologies. However, if we train our mindset to be non-linear, we stand a better chance of building a bridge to the future, and the power of symbols might just be the tool we need.
