Sebastian Fitzek, the creator of the great crime best sellers, reintroduces himself as a writer with a different book that raises existential questions:

• What matters in life?
• How do you find happiness?
• Which goals are right?
• What do you learn from defeat?

Fitzek was inspired by his role as a father and specifically by the question of what advice he would give to his children about life if he didn't have much time ahead of him. Without claiming to possess the ultimate truth, he manages to talk about very serious things without any seriousness, with humor, honesty, and directness. Thus, Fish that Climb Trees is a very personal legacy of a father for his children, a "compass," as Fitzek himself characterizes it, that he bequeaths to them to navigate. But at the same time, it is excellent food for thought and a very useful guide for anyone who is seeking their way in the world.

Dreaming is not the destination. It is the fuel for your life's journeys! A quote attributed to Einstein says, "Everyone is a genius! But if the criterion for the intelligence of a fish is its ability to climb a tree, then it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid." I will add: Do not let anything prevent you from climbing a tree just because others consider you a fish. Do not listen to those who tell you, "That is impossible, you will not succeed!" Be fish that want to climb trees.
