vida Listen | Podcast
What happens when a cancer diagnosis suddenly turns life upside down? How openly can or should one deal with this in the workplace? And what does it take to ensure that illness does not remain a taboo subject? In this special episode of "vidaHören", Alexander Greiner is a guest – journalist, author and presenter. After his own cancer diagnosis, he began to talk openly about living with the disease. Today, he is actively committed to a taboo-free approach to chronic illness – also in the world of work.
Writing about taboo
In his book "When I Kicked Death in the Balls", Alexander Greiner takes readers on an intense journey through hospitals, fears and hopes. With relentless honesty and fine humour, he describes the emotional roller coaster ride between waiting, fearing and continuing to live – without losing optimism.
Personal story
In the podcast "vidaHören", Alexander Greiner talks about his personal story: about the first reactions, about dealing with one's own fear - and about why it is so important to talk openly about illness. A conversation about vulnerability, strength and the power to break new ground.
