In their chart-topping literary podcast “Zwei Seiten”, Mona Ameziane and Christine Westermann have intentionally avoided discussing big topics – but now they are tackling life’s existential questions. What does love have to do with desire? Do you sometimes imagine what your life would be like without work? When did you understand what happiness is? It is a series of conversations between two friends from different generations, who know each other well yet still want to discover much more about the other – and about life. Their first joint book, When Did You Know It Would Be Good? On Life and its Secrets, contains ten chapters of surprising stories and thought-provoking texts – with the unscripted, inspirational and humorous tone the authors are known for.
