Rethinkography: The Tent Behind the Bust – A Self-Management Blueprint for Designing Your Present and Future

“Step back, reflect deeply, and shape your future with purpose.”

The image of a tent discreetly positioned behind a bust in a park serves as a profound metaphor for self-management.

The cover image captures the shadow of an architectural window cast upon a wall, symbolising the interplay of perspectives and perceptions within the domain of self-management.
