Corinne Maier says things that very few would otherwise say so openly and was almost fired. Some people find this annoying, some people miss one positive Tips – I just find it entertaining, refreshing and very brave. The tips, however, are in the second title presented.

Absurd truths

Maier's thesis: In modern Companys He does not keep his job, which works the most and is committed, but the one who knows how to make life in the office everyday as pleasant as possible - and to tease as little as possible.

This paradox, which has long since become the absurd truth in most companies, is examined in detail by the author.

Of corporate talk and scapegoats

Starting with the no-man's language that everyone speaks but nobody understands, to the blanket responsible fool that everyone has Company are mercilessly called empty phrases and hierarchies by name, which seem familiar to anyone who has ever worked in a company.

And since it's useless, that System wanting to change and nobody is judged by the quality of their work, but rather by their adaptability, Corinne Maier gives useful tips and empirical values ​​to those who Handwho have become aware of the excessive absurdity of the system.

Misleading, but good!

Of course she is frustrated, but she packs it witty and subtle. Of course, this book contains no concrete active instructions, but rather a call to refuse to work. But at the same time the author proves with her book practically to itself as an example that one can do something - and shows at the same time how exaggerated your own theses are.

And clear, the title is completely off the mark and just plain misleading. Only: Who under the title a guide to being lazy in the Office expected, perhaps should have read the blurb first. It's going to be pretty fast clear that this is a pamphlet disguised as a guide - and that's quite an ironic marketing strategy.

New mother of the successful literature reissued

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

For me, a book from a subject that is just next to esotericism is a good fit. Reason: it is one of the first works in successful literature and was, so to speak, the blueprint for The Secret. The book has been reissued by Börsenmediem Verlag. For me the reason to take a critical look at it.

First published at the beginning of the last century, The Science is part of The Way to Rich-Wallace D. Wattles, born in 1860, became one of the classics of successful literature. Reason enough, then, to take a closer look at the work newly published by Books4Success.

To be rich does not go by saving!

The new hype surrounding the book was sparked by Rhonda Byrne. She cited The Science of Being Rich as the source of inspiration for her world bestseller The Secret. And the book can actually serve as a source of inspiration.

Provided one is not disturbed by the preacher's high pitched tone and is not thrown off guard by the categorical request to put away all the plagues of life (of poverty to illness) rigorously fade out.

The potential is there, we just have to realize it

The science of being rich, as the title is originally called, is based on the assumption that everything you see on earth is formed from an original substance from which all things emerge. And Wattles is convinced that there is no shortage of this substance, because the universe is made of it.

However Wattles came to this conclusion, it coincides pretty closely with the findings of modern physics. But Wattles turns it into a religion, at the center of which he puts the thinking People puts. According to Wattles, if he tries hard enough, he can intervene in this substance in a thinking and formative manner.

The foundation stone for the universe

In doing so, he laid the foundation for today's make-a-wish-in-the-universe literature. But that's not what he's about. The Objective by Wallce D. Wattles is to unfold body, soul and spirit in such a way that everyone can benefit from the fullness of life.

Interesting are the conclusions Wattles draws from his assumptions. His core theme is that thoughts determine reality. Today there is broad consensus on this as well (e.g. self-fulfilling prophecy).

Thoughts determine the reality

Building on this, he describes a program that, in its urgency, can still develop astonishing power today. This includes the formulation of a clear vision (the basis of every mental training today), the unconditional will to give your best now (not yesterday, not tomorrow).

But also consciously to feel gratitude towards the possibilities and the people. Moreover, a key element of his program is to open oneself to success if he chooses (kairos).

In the absence of the somewhat crude theoretical framework, the book is as brief (138 pages) as it is an impressive invitation to clarify its aims and desires and strive hard to achieve them. And that is still an important pointer, even a hundred years after the publication of the first edition.

Set and achieve personal goals

And if you want to make good intentions again? Especially like this happens at the turn of the year, but also on other occasions: No more smoking, more sports, no longer put their own light under the bushel? Well, we have the right book tip for you: The new book by Martin Witschier.

You already know how not to do it. The expert for long-term (!) behavior change shows you which ones your inner impeller are and how to use them to your advantage. Just in time for the new year. Martin Wittschier's book How it doesn't work, you already know will be published at the best possible time before the turn of the year, when many people are making changes in their own Behavior wish for, but not find the right access.

Be captain of your own life

With the smoking stop, exercise more, spend more time with the Family spend, not from colleagues or the Executive Let yourself be stressed - that is often on the unwritten New Year's wish list.

I had decided to become the captain of my life! writes Wittschiers at one point. His guide provides the right timetable for this - in the three stages of the EVAMethod (Recognition phase, preparation phase, action phase) it helps you to transform loose wishful thinking into real goals.

Away with the inner pig dog

Recognize how the subconscious intervenes and how one focused on the result Motivation Leaving your weaker self behind - that is the essence of the advisor.

And of course it's also about which new behaviors bring you closer to the goal, which are still annoying but can be discarded much more easily than you currently think. What sets Wittschier's book apart from other personal coaching guides is the way it is told: it's a gentle motivational speaker that Anxiety before changes almost casually takes.

Soft motivation

The author writes in the context of a personal everyday story and introduces a mysterious mentor at an early stage, who, in the course of the book in the form of dialogues and exercises, explains the EVA principle so universally applicable to life goals.

The frame is reminiscent of Sofie's Welt. However, Wittschier does not focus on the philosophy, but on the inner drivers who help to finally implement the wishes that have been nagging at the bad conscience for a long time. Good packaging, good content.

How laziness prevents us from success

Success would be something nice - if it weren't for our weaker self, our own laziness, which prevents us from ideas implement and successfully to be. How can we trick this bastard? Maybe Günter will help?

Everyone knows Günter by now, he's the bastard who so often wants to keep us (and Stefan Frädrich) from doing what's actually good, useful and would be reasonable. But also new, uncertain – and perhaps even exhausting. Günter also often gets in our way in business, so it is only to be welcomed that motivation expert Frädrich points out all the traps that Günter sets us in our professional lives.

Because the pig dog just lurks everywhere!

There are people who give their car a name. Or your smartphone. your stuffed animal anyway. Stefan Frädrich, doctor of medicine and expert for self-motivation, has given his inner bastard a name.

He calls him Günter. Strictly speaking, Günter is not the inner pig dog of Stefan Frädrich, but of us all. However, Frädrich has developed a special, intimate, or even almost an intimate relationship with his inner pig dog.

Günter, take a seat

He has researched it thoroughly and knows exactly what makes it tick, he knows all of his Tricks and the art of persuasion and today he no longer lets himself be fooled.

Frädrich has his bastard under his feet Control, and when Frädrich says: Günter, make room!, then Günter makes room. Basta.

Selling - being a boss - becoming an entrepreneur

In the meantime Frädrich has written a whole series of Günter books. Now he's brought out another one. It's called The Günter Principle for Business.

This is how you become pigdogs successful and is in some ways the updated summary of his earlier books Günter Learns merchandise, Günter, the weaker self, becomes the boss and Günter, the weaker self, becomes an entrepreneur.

Additional chapters and reflections

The texts are updated and enriched with many additional chapters and reflections, so that even those who already know the earlier books can read this new book profitable.

And besides, we know from school that repetition is extremely important so that what you have learned really fits. And anyone who does not know the three aforementioned older books by Fredriks, well, has an even better reason to read the new one.

As you know it from Stefan Frädrich, the Günter principle is also for business light and easy to read. Nevertheless, you learn a lot. One could say: The Günter principle for business is infotainment between two book covers. Knew how!

Harmful simplicity

There are countless tips for motivation circulating. What really drives us and how do we motivate ourselves to die? A statement from ZDF presenter Steffen Kirchner.

Unfortunately, many of these alleged motivational tips are of no use, but rather harm, because they do not work in everyday life and in their simplicity you just have to want to often cause us rejection, so that we subsequently turn away from the motivational theories.

But of course there are also many good and well-founded tips on motivation - you just have to separate the wheat from the chaff. That is exactly what Steffen Kirchner does with his book Totmotiviert ?. He exposes common motivational lies and explains what really helps to strengthen motivation.

Pseudocoaching and motivational myths - a statement

The times of the cheapest fast food motivation are drawing to a close. Many people have simply had enough of the eternal evocation of belief in themselves, of the tireless appeal à la You just have to want it right and, above all, of this senseless Taschakka theater for self-encouragement.

The quote sums up what author Steffen Kirchner is about in his book Totmotiviert. His advice is an angry, often amusing account of the sleight of hand of the trainer, including information on actually effective motivation techniques.

Stop the awkward chakka roar

Even if Kirchner (whom you perhaps only know as a sportsmoderator of ZDF or Sky) at the beginning of his book, he emphasizes so often that he does not want to be considered as a nest-muddler: Ross and riders get their fat away.

Carsten Maschmeyer and the chakka inventor Emile Ratelband are few Fun about the book (especially the passages where they are named). Everyone else will enjoy reading the book. Kirchner's pointed writing provides the best entertainment.

The problem with denying problems

The pseudo-methods of many coaches are systematically unmasked: First, the author calls the pseudo-thesis, then checks the truth and finally works out what is still tenable from the original claim. Not much at all.

Then he completely transforms it into a new, valid approach. A total of 13 of the most common motivational lies are disposed of in this way.

Successes can not be programmed

This includes, for example, the promise of being able to program yourself for success. Success, according to Kirchner, cannot be programmed, but is the result of wrong decisions from which we learn.

Even phrases like There are no problems. There are only challenges coming into the shredder. Kirchner succinctly: That Problem is that many believe that they shouldn't have any problems.

What do Schwarzenegger, Kate Moss and Robbie Williams have in common?

Many have problems: Or what do Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lionel Messi, Kate Moss and Robbie Williams have in common Opinions after together?

No matter what you're tapping on, it's probably wrong. Because these world stars have the low ego in common: self-doubt, an unbalanced soul life. So away with the assertion that only a stable state of mind creates a sense of achievement.

Self-awareness does not fall from heaven

There are countless counterexamples. And self-confidence doesn't fall from the sky. In fact, according to Kirchner, it works like a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: great successes in life often begin with small deeds.

Perhaps the best motivational and self-coaching book of the year. With a touch of ironic spite, Kirchner smacks many of his fellow coaches in the face with their truisms and shows what really matters if you want to progress. product!
