This audiobook offers meditation topics and affirmations to repeat by combining techniques and methods from different fields, such as positive thinking, kindness, energy level management, solution-oriented coaching, the Palo Alto school, the systemic approach, the narrative approach, the WOOP method, nonviolent communication and many other fields.

Gabriele Oettingen developed the WOOP method based on the theory of mental contrasting with implementation intention.
