Aus Dir Wird Nichts

Aus Dir Wird Nichts

It's the story of a CEO (44) who controls everything — his company, his family, his weight — and slowly loses himself in the process. With the help of a quiet mentor, he finds his way back. Think: emotional, honest, sometimes funny. Not a self-help book disguised as fiction — a real novel that happens to be set in the business world.
