"Sie streben nach Perfektion - und scheitern an der Realität: Die Diagnose Burnout trifft vor allem ehrgeizige Leistungsträger. Wenn sie ausfallen, kostet das die Wirtschaft Milliarden. Dabei können simple Verbesserungen im Job den Trend stoppen. [...] Denn für Burnout machen Experten schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen verantwortlich: Leistungsbereite Leute sehen sich mit knappen Ressourcen, unfähigen Vorgesetzten sowie wenig Wertschätzung und Lob konfrontiert. [...] Eine Studie mit Beschäftigten in der IT- und Medienbranche ergab, dass die Befragten weder lange Arbeitszeiten noch ständige Erreichbarkeit oder das parallele Arbeiten an mehreren Projekten automatisch als überfordernd sahen. Vielmehr monierten sie schlechte Organisation und Arbeitsbedingungen, die am Ende zermürbend sein können. Wenn dauerhaft eine Lücke zwischen eigenem Anspruch und Wirklichkeit klafft, kommt die Erschöpfung. Die Begeisterung ist weg, selbst ein hohes Gehalt kann dies nicht auffangen."
Intuition is not some magical and mysterious property that arises unbidden from the depths of our mind. This book shows us how we can hone our instinctive ability to know in an instant, helping us to bring out the best in our thinking and become better decision-makers in our everyday life.
And it’s not gender, age, income, race or religion.

"So, those who say a Trump presidency “can’t happen here” should check their conventional wisdom at the door. The candidate has confounded conventional expectations this primary season because those expectations are based on an oversimplified caricature of the electorate in general and his supporters in particular. Conditions are ripe for an authoritarian leader to emerge. Trump is seizing the opportunity. And the institutions—from the Republican Party to the press—that are supposed to guard against what James Madison called “the infection of violent passions” among the people have either been cowed by Trump’s bluster or are asleep on the job."
"Authoritarianism is not a new, untested concept in the American electorate.
Since the rise of Nazi Germany, it has been one of the most widely studied
ideas in social science. While its causes are still debated, the political
behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and
follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders,
especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to "make America great
again" by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and
ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to
authoritarian inclinations."
