Björn has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife Katharina will leave him - and take their daughter.
He reluctantly starts a mindfulness class and to his surprise, it's a revelation. He becomes calmer, more focused, and he's starting to understand what's really important in life. So when his client and brutal crime boss Dragan Sergowicz tries to interfere with his precious family time, Björn remembers his new-found goal to find serenity - and kills him.
Now Björn can deepen his practice and seek inner peace - violently.
'This brutal but hilarious tale of German gangsterism . . . takes down the wellness industry while sending up the legal profession. Watching a worm turn - into a vengeful monster - has never been such fun.' THE TIMES

'A violent, feel-good rampage of a book where the pace and positivity never let up. Twisted and hilarious!' CALLUM MCSORLEY, author of SQUEAKY CLEAN
