An evening of conversation with a panel discussion

When does commitment turn into overwhelming pressure? How do we find a healthy balance in a world full of possibilities and expectations?

The focus of the evening with Spiegel-bestselling author Eva Asselmann is on the challenges of an era marked by constant availability, high performance expectations, and growing pressure. She explores why more and more people are reaching their limits and what role perfectionism, resilience, and self-care play in mental health.

The talk provides insights into the origins of stress and exhaustion and highlights strategies that can help people better manage stress in the long term. Afterward, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how to cope with the challenges of everyday life.
