Zero-Point-Publishing
"Movement creates change."
Zero-Point-Publishing is an independent author publisher that forms the literary foundation of a radical, lived experience and builds the bridge to applied, systemic psychology. Founded by Sven Hardt (Peregrino Sven), the publishing house stands for uncensored authenticity and deep transformation at one's own rock bottom.
Our Publishing Philosophy
Sven Hardt's works combine scientifically grounded psychological subject matter with vivid narratives and real everyday and life stories drawn from over 14,000 kilometers of personal pilgrimage experience. This approach serves a dual audience.
For Professional Readers
Therapists, counselors, coaches
Valid, structured, and practice-oriented companion works for professional work with clients.
For General Readers
Readers in everyday life
Profound, relatable companions for integrating deep-psychological insights directly into everyday life.
The Integrated Resilience Triangle
At the heart of every publication is the core model developed by Sven Hardt. True transformation never happens in the mind alone — it requires the interplay of three fundamental pillars.
1. Cognition
Mental realignment and conscious interruption of patterns.
2. Emotion
Recognizing, allowing, and transforming blocking feelings at rock bottom.
3. Body
Physical movement as the indispensable engine for psychological change.
Social Responsibility
The publishing house operates economically, organizationally, and legally strictly separate from all other projects and associations. Even so, one unshakeable promise applies:
1 euro from every book sold flows as a direct, one-sided donation to Charity-Hiker e.V., to support volunteer-run children's projects.
Publication Plan & Program
The Zero-Point-Publishing program is divided into the major biographical resilience series as well as dedicated professional and practice-oriented works.
