The sky is low for the Czechs

Why do we find so few Czech flags flying in our country? Why do we as Czechs underestimate ourselves and thus play below our potential? Why is it easier for us to fight when the outcome is almost certain? Why is it that we want a lot of freedom for ourselves but not for our neighbours, and the opposite is true for rule enforcement? Why are Czechs more similar to Austrians than Slovaks? Why do we often behave like subjects and stowaways of our country and not as its masters?

And yet why do we have an incredible gift for survival and endless talent and hope to be among the best in the world? And why is there a great future ahead of us if we don't spoil it for ourselves?
The book by the renowned Czech economist and former CNB Deputy Governor confronts us, for better or worse, with our typical characteristics, myths and prejudices that we have about ourselves as Czechs and suggests how to break out of these stereotypes and become one of the best in the world again.

Just start trusting yourself a little bit; unplug“ and unbuckle. Just soar higher. Because the sky is not low. It's high. And it has no ceiling.
