Description by the publisher:
Google Translate said:Like many others, Pia Lerigon became long-term ill in covid-19. The weeks went by with one odd symptom after another. One day better, the next day worse again. Hard to breathe, hard to move, she was like a wandering zombie.
Then she decided to find a way forward. As a trained lean coach, it was natural for her to use the so-called kata. It is really a leadership model for how you get lean to work in practice, but works for everything where you constantly want to get better. And Pia really wanted to get better.
After three weeks with the kata, she was completely symptom-free and had regained her former strength. Even better, she got no setbacks.
Pia decided to share her journey to a healthier life. In the book, she alternates her story with research results and other people's stories about what it is like to be long-term ill with a corona infection. She also presents the results of a survey where over 300 people have been asked about their symptoms, their disease picture and what they have done to feel better.
This is a book with a big heart and about everyone having to find their own way forward.

Google Translate said:- The method is not a cure for covid-19, but more a way to learn more about oneself to feel better.
Get started with the kata
Goal state: The kata starts with you thinking about your goal state. It may be that you want to go up a hill without getting out of breath.
• What is the goal?
• What condition do you want to achieve?
Current situation: Start by thinking about where you stand right now, so that you have a starting point to start from in your improvement work.
• Has anything changed?
• Where are you right now?
Obstacle: Choose an obstacle that prevents you from reaching your goal state. It is good if the obstacle you choose is your biggest obstacle, but it is more important that you choose an obstacle than the right obstacle. Therefore, do not put too much thought into the choice.
• What obstacles are there to achieving the goal state?
• What obstacle are you tackling?
Hypothesis: The hypothesis has two parts: Firstly, what you expect to do, that is, what is your experiment, and secondly, what you think will happen. The hypothesis should also be something you can do relatively soon.
• What do you expect to do, ie what will be your experiment?
• What do you expect to happen?
Test: Once you have developed your hypothesis, it is time to test it. It is not possible to figure out intellectually whether the hypothesis is correct or not, you have to try it. Try to test the hypothesis at once, do not wait unnecessarily.
• How soon can you test the hypothesis?
• How can you observe the hypothesis?
Outcome: Once you have implemented your hypothesis, it is important that you compare actual results with expected results.
• What happened?
• What was the real outcome?
Lesson: Learning is extremely important when working with the kata. Think about what happened and what you learned. It may also be that your hypothesis falls. It does not matter. The important thing is not whether the hypothesis is right or wrong, but what you learned from the process.
• What did you learn from the experiment?
• Did the hypothesis hold?
Follow-up: Once you have thought through what you learned from the experiment, it is time to follow up on whether you have reached the goal state or whether you should specify or adjust the goal state, to start round two.
• How do you follow up that you have reached the goal state? Is it possible to measure?
Google Translate said:- Before I started with the kata, I felt hopeless, but now I've become too focused to feel hopeless. Then I also started with a supplement with vitamin C, vitamin D and betaglucan made on yeast, which made a big difference.
