Slanted is a German-based, bi-annual publication created in 2014 by Lars Harmsen and Julia Kahl.

With issue 32 I had no idea what to expect. Initially, the cover didn’t appeal to me like the other and to be frank, and I wasn’t interested in reading it. But all of that changed.

Lately, I’ve been feeling low on motivation, continually self-doubting myself and feeling like an imposter.

Besides forcing myself to break out of apathy, I also bought a couple of books. And believe it or not, these helped me out immensely so maybe they will help you too.

When I found out about this book, I was really curious. First of all, the author’s last name – Monteiro – caught my attention because it is likely to be Portuguese and second and most important reason, the book title. Short and straight to the point.
