How do you deal with writer’s block?

That requires a lot of research and exploring the meaning in different ways. It also took me a very long time to find my voice, after years of writing strategy and policy documents. I tackled that by spending a few minutes every day just starting to write about the story I am working on, taking different angles and starting points. This is just sketching. I also tell these stories over family meals to Julia and our daughters, trying out different ways of building the narrative. Their feedback is invaluable, there is nothing like the honesty in a teenager's reaction! After that, I find, things begin to flow. But I like to revisit these stories after a few weeks or months, and will continue to tinker with them as I get some distance and discover new angles or facts.(less)

I draw my inspiration in large part from the creativity and humanity of these people, who organize change all around us—not for people, but with people. Also, I get inspired to write spending time with my daughters. The stories I share, are stories that I hope will inspire young people like them to look differently at their role in the world. I don't believe much in giving fatherly advice at all, but I think stories like these will stay with my readers and help them to contribute to the change they wish to see.(less)

Sascha’s Quotes

“The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
