Other People’s Dreams

  • “How do you turn a fairytale into a real life?” - a story of liberation and self-discovery
  • SPIEGEL Bestseller

Album, promotion, tour. For almost two decades, the dynamics of the music business dictated Judith Holofernes’s life. Until she decided to opt out. 

With great clarity and honesty, Holofernes writes about the curse and blessing of being a popstar; about the attempt to reconcile her career with having a family and about the sadness when doing what you love and being successful with it still doesn't make you happy. 

Holofernes shows how she gradually freed herself from the commercial constraints and narrowness of the music business – and how she became the artist she wanted to be for so long, getting her life back in the process. 

A book full of hope for everyone who tries to have it all and sometimes despairs at the limitations of strict systems.
