About the books by Andreas Salcher

"Salcher formulates light-footedly and swings the two-handed sword with relish... Salcher's conclusion: the school, which is open to the future, must enable graduates to anticipate what is to come - then the smouldering resignation will probably also disappear."

"The book "The Talented Pupil and his Enemies" is written in a light-hearted way and is worth reading because it contrasts the perspective of the person being educated with the conventional views of educators. It dispels the prejudice that talent is a purely genetic constant and proves that many children have much more talent than their educators believe."

"Andreas Salcher has unearthed a treasure trove of knowledge for the future. Fascinating!"

"Andreas Salcher impresses me. Not just because of his brilliant bestsellers, but because he is so passionate."
