Espresso with the Devil

"Good morning, allow me to introduce myself: I am the devil, but you can call me Fred. No need to guess my name ..."With these words begins Thomas Poppes extraordinary dialogue between a traveling writer and Fred, the Devil. 3 o'clock AM, we are in an airport hotel bar, somewhere in the Western USA. The devil is on the brink of being out of a job. Humanity is fast approaching self-destruction and thus would render his efforts redundant.So, he's forced to act! He is compelled to reveal all his tricks to give humanity a last chance to resist him and his powers of seduction - thus saving the world and ultimately Fred's mission. For his mouthpiece he has chosen a journalist and writer, whom he reveals his tricks and secrets and who is tasked with broadcasting his message. In this exceptionally profound and yet at all times tangible and amusingly thought-provoking dialogue Thomas Poppe tackles the great themes of life, that deeply move us all (i.e. environment, religion, nutrition, migration, racism, gender, Corona, health system, terror, hate speech in the web...). With this form of narrative self-help he has created a viable map through life's labyrinth. He encourages the reader to always remain curious, to think for her- and himself, to look behind the smokescreens and stage-props of life, to ask questions and to check for plausibility. He shows how to succeed in a sustainable and spiritually fulfilled life - in harmony with oneself, with one's fellow human beings and with nature. Author's Bio In 1991 Thomas Poppe published, together with Johanna Paungger, the runaway bestseller "Vom richtigen Zeitpunkt" (The Power of Timing) about the influences of lunar rhythms on everyday life.

In addition, they have developed a comprehensive calendar program that puts the insights of lunar knowledge into practice day by day.With his books Thomas Poppe gives his readers useful and effective tools to create a better world. This is no different in his new work, "Espresso with the Devil," in which he provides deep insights into the important things in life.
