30 Minuten für mehr Work-Life-Balance durch die 16 Lebensmotive

Published in 2008 by GABAL, this volume is part of the '30 Minuten' series, a prominent German-language collection designed to provide concise, practical management and self-help advice for professionals. Markus Brand authored this entry to translate the Reiss Profile of 16 basic desires into a workplace context, aiming to help readers identify their personal motivational drivers to achieve better professional and private equilibrium.

The book is characterized by its pedagogical layout, typical of the GABAL series, which favors direct applicability and rapid learning. It relies on the psychological framework of Steven Reiss to categorize human behaviors, offering readers a diagnostic tool to evaluate their own work-life stressors. While it serves as a niche entry in the productivity genre, it was well-received among German-speaking business coaching circles for its ability to simplify complex motivational theories into an accessible, digestable format for busy managers.
