Synopsis

Face to face with fate

There are times in life, when everything changes in an instant. Philipp Hanf experienced such a time seven years ago, aged 47, when he was diagnosed as suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Shocking – for him, for his wife, for his family.

Yet the diagnosis suddenly set many things in motion. Philipp Hanf stopped working, and all at once, his life began fleeting past his eyes, as if in a time lapse. Since conventional medicine had few solutions to offer, he started exploring new and candid avenues; meeting with spiritual healers and shamans, getting to the bottom of the seemingly miraculous abilities of Shaolin monks, facing his inner child, and practicing ancient, long-forgotten yoga techniques. He learned how to summon up unforeseen forces, listen to his own heart, and break with convention. He searched for alternatives in confronting his illness – and in the process, came face-to-face with himself.

This book, neither gloomy account of disease, nor dogmatic spiritual rulebook, gains in substance, as Hanf correlates his personal biography and background with multi-faceted therapeutic ideas and approaches – without verging on, or drifting myopically off into diffuse doctrines of salvation. On the contrary: He discovers many touch-points with traditional Western medicine.

Philipp Hanf, altogether grateful for his experiences, even if he has little time left on this earth, knows today that healing and death do not stand in contradiction to each other. In „ALSohappy“, he explains the genesis of this potentially incongruous-sounding conclusion. Philipp invites his readers to accompany him on a very personal journey of discovery. Instead of a swan song, a passionate plea for life awaits us – open, illuminating, and by all means with humor.
