Karin Kuschik

Overview

Karin Kuschik is a German self-leadership coach, speaker, and former radio presenter whose books have become some of the best-selling German nonfiction of recent years. Per her official site (karinkuschik.com), she spent more than 20 years as a behind-the-scenes coach for celebrities and companies before putting her self-leadership tools into a book so everyone could use them. Her promise for everything she makes is "klar, einfach, wirksam": clear, simple, effective.

That book, 50 Sätze, die das Leben leichter machen (Rowohlt, 2022), was the most successful German nonfiction title two years running, has been translated into 25 languages, and sat on the SPIEGEL bestseller list for four years. She narrated the audiobook herself, which went platinum and double gold. Her follow-up, 50 Fragen, die das Leben leichter machen, entered at #1, and her Kleine Storys audiobooks deliver one-minute impulses for everyday self-leadership.

Her live readings ("Live Lesungen") bring the books to small audiences in person, mixing stories from the page with practical tools.

Why SUCCESS readers care

Kuschik is one of the most-read personal-development authors in the German-speaking world, and her focus on composure, boundaries, and saying the right sentence at the right moment translates directly to work and relationships. Her live readings are intimate, ticketed evenings, a good fit for German-speaking SUCCESS readers who want practical self-leadership rather than a retreat.
