  • What do you stand for? On the quiet influence of our values

    There are moments in life when we make a decision that looks completely right on paper – and yet somehow feels strangely wrong. Maybe we try to convince ourselves, listing all the arguments in its favor, but that quiet nagging feeling inside – that something just isn’t quite right – won’t go away. There are…

  • The forgotten value of boredom

    What we call boredom Can you remember the last time you did absolutely nothing? Really – nothing. Not on your smartphone, not eating, not even listening to music. For many of us, this question is hard to answer. Not because we didn’t have time to do nothing. But because most of us have forgotten how…

  • Empathy does not automatically mean compassion

    We often assume that other people perceive the world in much the same way we do. If we are someone who can empathize with other living beings, we instinctively assume that other people can do the same. We usually don’t even question it, because to us it’s simply „normal.“ The healthy impulse to explain ourselves…

  • Self-awareness is not a self-improvement project

    Self-awareness and self-improvement are often conflated. We see this especially in the digital world, which is virtually impossible to avoid these days. Particularly in the age of social media, we are constantly being told what we should do: how we function, how we behave, and which patterns we should „correct.“ The transition from „this is…

  • Artificial Intelligence as a mirror: Use cases, potential, and limitations

    Introduction We live in a dynamic age: While just a few years ago, artificial intelligence seemed more like science fiction than reality, today we are right in the thick of it. It’s not just companies that are working with AI; a large portion of the general public in the Western world is now doing so…

  • How clear, genuine intentions can change our lives

    In life, we tend to focus quickly on the „what“: what we want to do, what we want to have, what we want to experience. Once we know that – or think we know it – we jump straight to the „how“: how can I achieve this, what might a shortcut look like, how can…

  • Intentional sacrifice as a guide

    Sometimes in life we reach a point where we have to make a decision. For one path – and against another. This can be a simple question such as: Do I go to the party today or stay at home? Or it can be a complex question such as: Do I file for divorce or…

  • Healing instead of coping

    When we experience painful situations in life, we humans tend to resort to a tried-and-tested survival strategy. And this strategy rarely involves retreat or resistance – instead, it involves adaptation. This makes sense: if we look at the animal world, we see the same patterns: animals that can adapt to different weather conditions and circumstances…

  • Either, or!

    Either, or!

    We often find ourselves in situations that require us to make decisions. Whether it’s an action, an intention or an opinion: we quickly end up in a position where we are asked to choose „one“. Either X or Y – you can’t do both. We are familiar with this form of decision-making, or rather argumentation…

  • Our impact on other people

    We influence other people. Obvious or not? It may be obvious, and yet we don’t always seem to realize it. When we walk through the world of everyday life, we primarily see one perspective: our own. We may perceive other people, but mostly only as part of our world. We react to them and their…
