LesArt.Festival: Jana Crämer - Manchmal muss man sitzen, um den Hintern hochzukriegen

In the organizer's words:

The moment when everything changes:
Bestselling author and social media star Jana Crämer on the all-changing moments in life

After a decade-long binge-eating disorder, gnawing self-doubt, 100 kilos less on the scales and the diagnosis of a terminal illness, Jana Crämer realizes one thing: life is not about trying harder - it's about recognizing and seizing the right moment for change.

In this book, Jana takes us on a very personal journey and impressively demonstrates why change does not begin with struggle and sacrifice, but with small and smart decisions at the right moment. With her unmistakable humor, deep emotional openness and unsparing honesty, she talks about her biggest crises and changes in life. The moving conversations with close friends such as Sebastian Fitzek and Dirk Eilert and members of her community, which she shares in this book, show that Jana's successes are not unique - as inspiration for anyone facing major changes themselves.
Jana Crämer shows us how to make the most of the decisive now moment - the moment when change suddenly becomes effortless. Why it's not always about eating less, but sometimes even more. And why flexibility, not willpower, is the key to achieving your goals.

Jana Crämer was born in 1982 in the Ruhr area and now lives in Haltern am See. A victim of bullying at school, she battled her way through an eating disorder and a distorted self-image until one day she decided to take control of her health and her life again. Today, she is an encourager for her loyal community, sharing her life and her many challenges. Since 2016, she has been visiting schools across Germany as part of her concert reading tours with the musician Batomae. In her podcast Wir sind so! and on her social media channels (TikTok, YouTube and Instagram), she stands for resilience, self-love and the power of change. Jana Crämer was named BookTok Author of the Year in 2023. Her first non-fiction book Jana, 39, ungeküsst was a bestseller.
