Lessons Learned About Life and Love

Living with Intention and with Wisdom from Great Minds

by Vivianne Knebel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Memoir

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

In her second book "Lessons Learned About Life and Love", Vivianne shares some of the lessons she has learned from writers and thinkers such as Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Viktor Frankl, weaving them into her own experiences in a compelling guide to living, loving and thriving in old age. Her insights offer proof that great wisdom is not gained only from the classroom or the lecture hall, and that one need not look far to understand the secrets to living well. From anecdotes about her everyday rituals to memories from her world travels, Vivianne captures the profound and often surprising moments of enlightenment that can be found right in front of us, if we only know where- and how-to look.

EXCERPT ONE:

My book "Lessons Learned About Life And Love" is about my life experiences and how they were impacted by my mentors the philosophers and poets, who helped me make sense of the world. I applied their wisdom and it worked to help me gain the inner dignity of living a fully loved life. How I have come to love life, that same life which I had once sought to end at age 17. I learned early on how cruel life can be but also felt inspired by the beauty and love that always awaits all of us. The trials of my early life left their mark on me and I found a way to overcome the adversities of the world I was able to build a new life for myself, dealing with immigration and walking that long path of self-discovery and self-fulfillment.  But that does not mean that I left all adversities behind me. We are in a constant cycle of ups and downs.

In my book, I write about my latest challenge having to face my husband's severe illnesses. How it was almost touching and go. With positive hope and optimism, one can still find joy and meaning in life and how it can create miracles. This book is a guide to seek meaning even amidst tragedy. I write about the greatest power of love. Nurturing and a sense of responsibility are facets of love. Awareness of service is a state of mind that expresses love. With my unwavering hope, positivity, and devotion I hope to inspire my husband to hold on to that same faith and hope to overcome this latest challenge.

I want to give people the message to always hold onto hope, positivity, and faith, to stay determined, and to persevere. I guide people to cope with challenges in flexible ways. Challenges make us resilient and resilience breeds purpose. That is how we grow!

GUEST POST:

Five Reasons People Should Read My Book

“Lessons Learned About Life And Love” is a sequel to my first book “From Rubble To Champagne.” Born in Hitler’s Nazi Germany as an illegitimate child, belonging to no country and essentially stateless, I learned early on how cruel life can be. From growing up in ravaged post-war Berlin, to early adulthood as part of a wave of struggling immigrants in Canada, I eventually built a new life and found fulfillment in the United States.

My whole life is a demonstration of how we human beings can deal with and ultimately thrive even when faced with adversity. With “Lessons Learned About Life And Love”, I take readers on another journey as I face and tackle new challenges. In this book, I share my life lessons and how I apply the wisdom of my distinguished mentors, philosophers, and great thinkers, who have shown me the way to make sense of and come to grips with the world. This book is about discovering the true secrets of how to create a fulfilling and meaningful life, even in the most difficult circumstances. It should resonate with anyone interested in living their best life.

AUTHOR BIO:

Born an illegitimate child in the wake of WWII in Berlin, Nazi Germany to a single mother, Vivianne Knebel’s options were limited and her future looked bleak. She experienced poverty, cold, and hunger, and was even driven to the point of committing suicide. To seek out a better life, Vivianne immigrated to Canada as a teenager, but her misfortunes did not end there. However, in response to a miraculous intervention, she decided to preserve her life and keep moving forward.

After this incident, Vivianne met a fellow German immigrant, Wiland, who eventually became her husband. But even more than that, he became a catalyst for change in her life. His belief in her is what helped her see the true, immeasurable value of her life. She went on to play a key role in Wiland’s business venture and together they built a better future for each other.

Since then, Vivianne has run a marathon, learned to pilot a plane, and even beat cancer. She’s found a greater sense of spirituality and wants to share her story with the world, to remind people that there is always a reason to keep moving forward.
