Summary
The book is written in clear personal language, with short chapters and sentences. It offers both personal insights and socially critical perspectives. It takes up the cudgels for professions in social work and Caniperk presents himself as a “man of conviction” who is absorbed in his work and has found a calling. He is also able to follow this calling particularly well because his biography, his taste in music and his social media presence are strong points of contact and door openers for young people. “At eye level” should appeal to all readers who are interested in social issues, as well as youth welfare professionals and anyone who appreciates the mixture of autobiographical and analytical writing.
