Books & Writing

Stories, questions and practical explorations of what it means to be human. I write from curiosity — about the stories we tell ourselves, the way we see the world, and the freedom to discover a different perspective.

Books written by Manuela Stoerzer: Headless Chicken, Monkey Mind and Logbuch

Headless Chicken

Headless Chicken by Manuela Stoerzer, a personal narrative about three months in the Amazon

A Personal Narrative about Three Months in the Amazon, Ayahuasca and Old Stories

A personal account of an unexpected journey to the Amazon — and an exploration of the stories, assumptions and interpretations through which we make sense of life. The book does not set out to give ready-made answers; it invites readers to look more closely and find their own.

Monkey Mind

Monkey Mind by Manuela Stoerzer, Mentalhygiene für mehr Freude im Alltag

Mentalhygiene für mehr Freude im Alltag

What happens when we stop treating every thought as the truth? This humorous and thoughtful book invites readers to notice habitual thinking and emotional reactions, create a little distance, and meet themselves with more kindness and curiosity.

A project I support

I support a charity project in Andhra Pradesh, India, working towards a safe hostel for 80–100 girls from poor rural families — a place with a safe home, a desk and a future. The land is owned by the Sisters, and the plans and estimate are ready. I am happy to help this project find people who care about girls’ education.

Every girl deserves a place to dream: charity project for a hostel for 80–100 girls in Andhra Pradesh, India. Volunteer advisor: Manuela Störzer.
Every girl deserves a place to dream — a charity project supported by Manuela Stoerzer.

Know someone who cares about education projects? Please share the flyer or get in touch with me for an introduction.


Each book came from a different chapter and a different kind of curiosity. I may add more notes here over time — about the moments, questions and experiences that found their way onto the page.
