A hero's journey is more than the secret matrix of all Hollywood blockbusters. It is the recipe for success for the personal life -- with happy end guaranteed.  
Uwe Walter, expert for playbooks, storytelling- and dramaturgy teacher addresses questions in his TEDxKoeln-Talk that people wonder about all over the world:
How can we start off when we're unhappy with our lives? When we have dreams that have not yet been fulfilled? How can we earn our living with our favorite occupation? Live in a fulfilling partnership? Wake up passionately every morning, since we may do things that we have always wanted to do? Find to ourselves and feel as lively as possible?
Even if the studied and experienced director uses Hollywood blockbuster scenes for examples -- he gives surprising answers that not even Hollywood could have invented. So personal, so close...and so inspiring for every single person.

Uwe Walter studied directing at the University of Television and Film in Munich, Department Feature Film and Television Feature; executive assistant of Vol¬ker Schlöndorff, director of Studio Babelsberg GmbH, Potsdam.
Responsible for dramaturgy, editorial office and examination of film productions for more than 2,000 film projects in the USA, England, France and German-speaking countries.
