"Our world is what we believe it to be."

We are all familiar with fears, doubts and challenges. But we deal with them differently. According to the Huna philosophy of life, this is because each of us has our own personal view of the world. Thorsten Havener concludes that the key to greater serenity in such situations lies within ourselves. 

"The focus is the only thing I can influence."

Thorsten Havener is one of the best-known mentalists in the German-speaking world. In his shows and books, he shows how much our focus determines our lives. And he goes one step further: using philosophical principles and his many years of experience, he shows how we can train our mental strength - and why it often only takes a small change in our perception to bring about big changes.

"Willpower also means making decisions again and again."

The conversation with Georgiy Michailov is also about achieving more willpower, the power of thought, why secrets are the currency of friendship. And how mental techniques can be used specifically to overcome fears.
