Georg Lolos
Mindfulness teacher and author
Nice of you to drop by! Here I’ll tell you more about my life’s journey – about turning points, crises and what sustains me today.
Overview
My journey & work as a teacher for mindfulness
Before I came to mindfulness, I was employed as a political TV journalist for WDR/ARD – the German equivalent of the BBC.
In my early 30s, I began suffering from severe depression and burnout. Eventually I felt that I needed to make a significant change and moved to the Buddhist monastery Plum Village in the south of France.
I spent three intensive years there, living in a community of monks, guided by the world-renowned Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.
Since my return, I have taught mindfulness and meditation to thousands of students in courses and workshops.
“Georg, what are you actually waiting for?”
“I’m not waiting; I’m breathing.”– Georg Lolos
When I came back from the monastery after three years, I started working again as a television journalist at WDR. But now I had a completely different foundation for dealing with challenges.
One day I was sitting in the newsroom, and all my colleagues were once again running back and forth around me, stressed out. Shortly beforehand, a film contribution of mine had been approved, and now I was watching the action from my chair, completely relaxed. At some point, a colleague asked me, somewhat irritated: “Georg, what are you actually waiting for?” I replied calmly, “I’m not waiting; I’m breathing.”
For the past 15 years, a lot of my energy has gone into training new mindfulness teachers. In addition, I give lectures on inner self-care to an array of professionals, from executives of global companies to teachers to medical professionals.

Don’t Cuddle with Your Thoughts
A person’s emotional state determines their wellbeing and all their actions.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had an effective tool at hand to overcome painful emotions like worries, loneliness and anger? With his inventive, simple model of the Ego House and its 10 rooms, mindfulness teacher Georg Lolos offers exactly this.
Each room represents a difficult emotional state, such as the Room of Inferiority or the Room of Denial.
Depending on which room we enter, we inhale the atmosphere of this dreadful space and are bombarded by its negative emotions. It’s high time to exit our inner prison. Georg Lolos guides us through this house of pain and helps us with mindfulness exercises that are easy to implement, so that we can leave the Ego House for good.
After its release in Germany, my book „Don’t cuddle with your thoughts“ was on the bestseller list of DER SPIEGEL for several weeks.
