Into the Unknown

Kann unser Gehirn die Zukunft vorhersagen? Was können wir aus der Gehirnforschung für den Arbeitsalltag lernen? Warum ist Relativieren und Tagträumen so wichtig, um glücklich und zufrieden zu sein? Und kann unser Gehirn lernen mit Unsicherheit umzugehen? In dieser Episode spreche ich mit mit dem österreichischen Neurobiologen Dr. Bernd Hufnagl über die Faszination wild Hypothesen aufzustellen, Zukunftsängste und warum wir vor dem Schlafengehen keine Nachrichten ansehen sollten.

Why should we shift from mindfulness to bodyfulness? And why are fear and pain our friends? What can we gain from body attention and how can you be fully present with another person? In this episode, I talk to Avi Grinberg, the founder of the Grinberg Method. He teaches people to be bodies again. We talk about the pleasure of being afraid, being present and, how our mind is just interpreting reality.

What impact does it have on a community if there is no word for past or future in its language? And also no word for childhood or of comparison. In this episode, I speak with Bettina Ludwig. She has been researching hunter-gatherer communities for six years and lived with them for three months in the Kalahari Desert. How much interest do hunters and gatherers show in us and is there anything we can learn from them and implement in our complex world? Listen for yourself.

To what extent can you maximize your output and how much in poker is fate? What can you learn from poker when it comes to making decisions? And why is it better to focus on the things you can influence? In this episode, I'm talking to Fedor Holz, who, in his mid-20s as a professional tournament poker player, has won more than 30 million. We talk about taking risks, "seeing" the opponent, money versus self-worth, the joy of the game, but also about rejection and vulnerability.

How many of us know our life dream and how can we find out, what we actually want to do with our lives? Is it a risk to follow your passion or rather a risk not to? Today I am talking to a man who I met for the first time in late 2019 at a small-scale celebration. I was about to leave and sat down on the floor with him for a moment. A few hours later I went home inspired. His name? Hermann Gams. He is a dream developer, who gives without expectations. So let's talk about life dreams.

Why should companies celebrate mistakes and what can they do to make their employees more resilient? How does our brain react, when we step out of our comfort zone and how can we use the future to create our present? Today I am talking to Rike Pätzold an uncertainty expert, who supports companies and managers on their way to deal with the unknown. But isn’t it a paradox to be an expert for not knowing?

Is being curious a good quality? Even if you decide to travel to a war zone as a young woman to interview soldiers on the frontline - just because you are curious? And how much of your life makes sense - looking at it from hindsight. In today's episode I'm talking to Verena Gruber-Sytchev, who left for the frontlines of Kurdistan at the age of 23. We talk about going to places where few others dare to go and what we can learn from crises.

How much pressure do we put on ourselves to keep our sex life interesting and why do people look for adventures outside their relationships? What can you learn about yourself after travelling 36 countries in 5 years? And what happens when you sit down at the age of 30 and start writing your memoirs? Can you show the whole world how vulnerable you are? In this episode I talk to Theresa Lachner, journalist, speaker and founder of the largest sex blog in German language, who knows her boundaries and supports others on their way to set theirs.

Doesn't it sound tempting in a relationship to trust completely even if you sometimes feel jealous? The partner can feel free? But where does this freedom stop and what is allowed to fall under trust or even fidelity? Does fidelity mean consequently monogamy? Today I am talking to Raphael Spannocchi, a man in his mid-40s who has consciously taken the step into open marriage. A step with an open and uncertain end, which is even desired.
