LET GO NOW - A New Way of Being
Triathlon ends, but life doesn’t. The inspirational story of Sebastian Kienle.
This book is not about Sebastian Kienle.
Hold on. Of course, it is. It’s not JUST about Sebastian, and not even just about triathlon. It´s so much more!
12 months. 12 chapters. 12 emotions.
Many ups and downs.
Doubts and uncertainties.
Joy but also anxiety.
Mixed feelings about what´s to come and what to do next when you have already achieved everything there is to achieve in the sport of triathlon.
Halfway through the year, I realized:
I feel the exact same way. His story is relatable, not just for triathletes or athletes in general. But for everyone. Everyone who is facing change or challenge, or the end of a chapter in life. His story is your story as well.
This realization is how the true story of Kienle’s final year evolved:
LET GO NOW.
Let go of the things that have been keeping you in your comfort zone for so long and instead, invite new things into your life. What a challenge and what a privilege it is to be able to recognize the signs that allow us to enter new paths. Over 170 stunning images with quotes and stories of Sebastian and his closest career companions. A book full of emotions and images that will last forever.
