#20 | Using your brain to achieve success

Medial junk food, news 24/7, and being constantly online. Our brain is flooded with stimuli on a daily basis. Even in our leisure time, we are permanently surrounded by media exposure. So it’s high time we unplugged. But that is easier said than done. One person who is very familiar with this vicious circle is Prof. Dr. Volker Busch. He knows how difficult it is in today’s world to clear your head – in the truest sense of the word. But there are solutions – ways to escape the hamster’s wheel. And he reveals them to us in the latest LeaderTalk with Georgiy Michailov, Managing Partner at Struktur Management Partner. Together, the two of them plunge deep into our brains and embark upon a fascinating journey. And it leads us to Busch’s most important message: that we have to show more bite, instead of just giving up.

That also means fighting for what is really important to us in life. And he tells us how to achieve that, too.

The magic word: focus. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a question of concentrating on an exhausting task, solving a social problem or consciously concentrating on doing nothing at all. The secret to almost everything is to persevere, to really keep at it. In the talk, Busch reveals the secret of how we can make our lives easier and free ourselves of too many thoughts by focusing on the right things.

He also considers the question of what distinguishes self-worth from real self-confidence – and how a “deep hour” can help us find the right focus.
