Between Two Clocks

For Elena Moritz, life is governed by two clocks. There's the external clock of her demanding marketing career in Frankfurt-a relentless cycle of deadlines, meetings, and the glowing screen that dictates her every waking moment. On the surface, she is a model of success: ambitious, reliable, and respected. But beneath the professional armor, a second, internal clock is ticking-a slow, aching rhythm of profound exhaustion that warns she is about to shatter.
A terrifying panic attack on a Tuesday night becomes the breaking point, forcing Elena to confront the hollow reality of her life. This is not just stress; it's a soul-deep burnout. Her first act of self-preservation is a desperate call that leads her to the quiet office of a therapist, who asks a single, life-altering question: What would happen if, for just one day, you only listened to the clock inside you?What follows is not an instantaneous fix, but a quiet, courageous rebellion.
From setting her first real boundary with a demanding boss to learning the difficult language of "no" with her own family, Elena begins the painstaking process of dismantling a life built on external validation. It's a journey that takes her from the sterile pressure of the boardroom to the healing silence of a mountain trail, leading to an epiphany that changes everything: the goal isn't to survive her life, but to build one she actually wants to live.
Between Two Clocks is a deeply emotional and motivational novel for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to perform. It is a story about the quiet heist of reclaiming your time, the brave act of redefining success, and the profound discovery that true productivity isn't about doing more, but about becoming more of who you were meant to be.
