2019  Sei anders, sei du selbst 

Jolly Kunjappu set for himself the objective of leading a free, self-determined and happy life. In doing so, he was confronted with considerable challenges. He never refrained from facing the many obstacles that arose, and courageously and purposefully sought solutions to reach his goal in life: to live in a free, self-determined and happy manner. He describes in this book the steps that were necessary to reach this state. He admits that the path was not easy, but the journey was ultimately worthwhile – he now sees himself as a fulfilled person. Jolly Kunjappu wants to encourage the readers of this book to pursue their very own path to a fulfilled life. Take inspiration.

»In search of myself, I was confronted above all with two major questions: Where do I want to go? How do I succeed in realising myself? It soon became clear to me that, in order to find apposite answers to these questions, I must first understand what had shaped me. I began to analyse how I had become what and who I am. My life entailed a succession of developments, which I recognised as seven different phases: The 7 Phases of En- and Unwrapping.

This realisation opened my eyes and helped me to assume self-responsibility. As I came to understand what had formed me, I knew how I would proceed in order to have a joyful future before me. And, I was successful in this. I became step-by-step master of my own life. Consequently, I offer in the following the perceptions of  The 7 Phases of En- and Unwrapping.«
