What we call boredomCan 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 to…

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.” When we find ourselves in a…

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…

IntroductionWe 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 as…

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…

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 not? Such…

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…

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 technique,…

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…

We often think about the big things in life. The career we’re working towards.The partnership we’ve wanted for years.Finally taking up a hobby that fulfills us. The list can be long. Although long-term goals and wishes can be a good guide for the future, we often overlook the little things in life that are right…

Some of you are probably familiar with the Johari window – perhaps not the term, but the meaning is familiar to you. The Johari window classifies personality and behavioral traits according to whether or not we are aware of them ourselves and/or our environment. This results in four groupings of precisely these characteristics: The logic…

The problem Who hasn’t experienced it – the inner voice in your head that says “I should be doing this now” or “I shouldn’t be doing that now”? The word “should” plays a special role for us humans, usually a much bigger role than we initially think. I would even venture to say that we…
