Innledning – Når alt krever viljestyrke: Hva skjer med motivasjonen vår da?I denne episoden har jeg fått et spørsmål fra en skoleklasse på videregående, og det handler om motivasjon – eller kanskje rettere sagt, mangel på motivasjon. Mange av elevene forteller at de er skoleleie, at det krever mye viljestyrke å komme seg gjennom skoledagen, og at det føles som om det man gjør hele tiden må tvinges frem. De opplever at det ikke nødvendigvis handler om latskap, men om en slags indre tretthet – en følelse av å være konstant i kamp mot seg selv for å holde tritt med krav, vurderinger og forventninger.Dette spørsmålet treffer en nerve. For hva skjer egentlig når store deler av hverdagen krever viljestyrke, og lite drives av nysgjerrighet, interesse eller glede? Psykologisk forskning viser at viljestyrke er en begrenset ressurs – litt som et batteri som tappes i løpet av dagen. Når vi hele tiden må bruke selvdisiplin for å utføre oppgaver som ikke føles meningsfulle, vil denne ressursen sakte men sikkert utarmes. Baumeister og kolleger (1998) har i sin forskning på ego depletion vist at mennesker som bruker mye viljestyrke i én situasjon, har mindre igjen til neste utfordring. Det betyr at dersom vi hele tiden må presse oss gjennom oppgaver vi ikke føler noe særlig for, vil vi etter hvert bli mer slitne, mindre beslutningsdyktige og mindre motstandsdyktige mot stress.Men det finnes en annen type drivkraft – indre motivasjon – som ikke på samme måte tærer på viljestyrken. Når vi gjør noe fordi vi opplever det som interessant, meningsfullt eller gøy, så trenger vi ikke å presse oss selv. Det er nesten som om oppgaven bærer oss frem, i stedet for at vi må bære den. Det betyr ikke at alt må være gøy hele tiden, men at det finnes en stor forskjell på å gjøre noe vi føler oss tiltrukket av, og noe vi føler oss tvunget til.I dagens episode vil jeg derfor utforske forskjellen på indre og ytre motivasjon, og reflektere over hva som skjer når samfunnet vårt i økende grad belønner målbare prestasjoner fremfor levende engasjement. Hva gjør det med elever i skolen? Hva gjør det med vår livslyst og psykiske helse? Og hvordan kan vi finne tilbake til motivasjon som ikke bare handler om å "komme seg gjennom", men om å kjenne seg levende i det man gjør? Først skal du få høre hva jeg spontant svarte når eleven spurte meg om motivasjon og mangel på motivasjon. Vil du ha mer psykologi og flere dypdykk i menneskets sjelsliv?Vil du har en praksis for selvutvikling og hjelp til å dykke ned i ditt eget indre liv?Da kan BeBalanced.ai være noe for deg!

A student died by suicide. A freshman. Neither his parents nor teachers knew he was struggling. Not even his friends. It is the question that haunts every parent of teenagers and the foundation of teen mental health: Do my kids actually trust me? Would they come to me if they were in crisis? Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of youth suicide and mental health crises. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Crisis resources cited below.In this episode, part 2 of the Trust Series, Dr. Marjorie & Michael move from institutional trust to the most personal kind. What trust actually means according to research, why kids hide emotions, why teens don't talk to parents, and what it takes to become the person your child trusts with the things they are most afraid to say out loud.Because trust is not just reliability. It is a willingness to be vulnerable. And that willingness has to be built long before the crisis arrives.This is a guide for parenting teenagers through the lens of two educators navigating co-parenting after divorce and raising emotionally healthy kids. If you are wondering how to get kids to open up, how to create emotional safety for kids, or how to build trust with your teenager, this conversation is for you. Because your kids are not learning trust from a textbook. And neither are you.Inside the Episode:"Do My Kids Trust Me?" Trust is easy to claim when things are good. It is only demonstrated when things are not. This is the question that anchors the whole episode.Why Kids Don't Talk to Parents. Signs your teen is struggling are not always visible. Shame, stigma, & perception that asking for help means weakness keep young people silent. Learn how to talk to teens about mental health without shutting the door, because even the most present parents cannot guarantee their kids will reach out I Will Put Love in the Driver's Seat. The parenting framework for modeling accountability for kids: "I will put love and your safety in the driver's seat before consequences & accountability." Micro-Stabs vs. Big Betrayals. Death by a thousand cuts destroys trust just as completely as one dramatic betrayal in parent-child relationships, just as much as romantic ones. The Research on Trust and Belonging. Baumeister & Leary's belonging research and Ohio State's trust framework applied to parenting. What we teach kids about trust starts with what we show them every single day.Modeling Vulnerability and Emotional Safety. How to get a child to open up about feelings starts with modeling emotional safety yourself. Giving kids the emotional vocabulary they need before the crisis arrives. Parenting and mental health are inseparable. What we model for our kids in uncertain times is what they carry with them. This is emotionally safe parenting in practice.Physical Presence Matters. Community requires inconvenience. Showing up in person is one of the most trust-building things a parent can do."I will put love and your safety in the driver's seat before consequences and accountability." "We usually think of trust as big trust, instead of thinking about all the little micro-stabs." "Logic doesn't work. We have to pay attention to the emotional tenor of our relationships." "I trust you more now than when we were married."Follow Us on InstagramParents and Professors Podcast: / parentsandprofessorspod Dr. Michael Steven Williams: / drmikewill Dr. Marjorie Dorime-Williams: / drminimarj

"In a landmark article on the power of negative experiences, Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, and Vohs (2001) demonstrated that across the clear majority of domains studied by psychologists (including relationship research), “bad is stronger than good.” Baumeister and colleagues found that “bad events will have longer lasting and more intense consequences than good events” (p. 325); that “single bad events are far stronger than even the strongest good ones” (p. 326); that “close relationships are more deeply and conclusively affected by destructive actions than by constructive ones” (p. 355); and that “Hardly any exceptions (indicating greater power of good) can be found” (p. 323).  "At the same time, a large and growing body of research has demonstrated that religion and spirituality, diversely measured, are associated with a wide range of benefits to individuals, couples, and families. Those benefits have been connected to the capacity of religious beliefs, practices, and communities to provide meaning, structure, and social support. If religion and spirituality can help, how does this help occur? Are religious and spiritual experiences part of the reason why religiosity and spirituality have been helpful?" Kyra Nielson reads the article, "From Struggle to Strength: Adversity in Religious Families," which was originally published in Public Square Magazine on August 16, 2023.

In this conversation, Roy Baumeister dives into the intricate relationship between psychology, meaning, self-control, and identity. He reflects on his journey into psychology, the evolution of identity in modern society, and the impact of societal changes on self-discovery. The discussion also explores the significance of willpower, the dynamics of parenting, and the role of self-control in relationships. Baumeister emphasizes the importance of understanding ego depletion and decision-making, while also considering how self-control evolves with age and societal expectations.Chapters00:00 Exploring the Quest for Meaning02:52 The Evolution of Identity and Self-Discovery06:04 The Impact of Societal Changes on Identity Formation08:53 The Role of Willpower and Self-Control11:55 Understanding Self-Control and Its Implications14:51 The Interplay of Personality and Self-Control18:09 Parenting and the Development of Self-Control20:48 The Dynamics of Punishment and Reward in Learning24:08 The Importance of Self-Control in Relationships26:51 Ego Depletion and Decision-Making30:05 The Future of Self-Control and Aging33:05 More Thoughts on Self-Control and SocietyGrab your copy of The Time is Now and start your journey toward living a more intentional and fulfilling life -⁠⁠ https://a.co/d/aDYCQ9oJoin this channel to get access to exclusive perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g/join// Connect With Me //ORDER MY BOOK, THE TIME IS NOW: A GUIDE TO HONOR YOUR TIME ON EARTH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.timeisnowbook.comWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠https://throughconversations.com⁠⁠Substack - https://throughconversations.substack.comYouTube community -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g/join// Social //X: ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/ThruConvPodcast⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thruconvpodcast/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https:⁠//www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g

Eine effiziente Baulogistik als integraler Bestandteil der Baustelleninstallation ist ein zentraler Erfolgsfaktor für einen körperschonenden Lastentransport. In dieser Podcastfolge sprechen wir mit Cristina Schaffner vom Dachverband Bauenschweiz sowie mit dem Bauexperten Martin Kunz über Herausforderungen und konkrete Lösungsansätze auf Schweizer Baustellen. Im Zentrum steht die frühzeitige Planung der Baustelleninstallation und die Koordination zwischen Bauleitung, Baumeister und Ausbaugewerbe. Die beiden Experten zeigen auf, weshalb gerade kleine und mittlere Baustellen von einer optimalen Baulogistik profitieren. Denn durch klar definierte Organisation und ausreichend lang bereitgestellte Baustelleninstallation ergeben sich nebst verbessertem Gesundheitsschutz auch wirtschaftliche Vorteile durch effizientere Abläufe. Du erfährst, wie Bauenschweiz die relevanten Akteure zusammenbringt, um Schwachstellen heutiger Instrumente und Prozesse zu identifizieren. Entscheidend ist, bereits in der Planungsphase die gemeinsam genutzte Baustelleninstallationen vorzusehen. Darüber hinaus macht Cristina Schaffner deutlich, wie wichtig attraktive Arbeitsbedingungen für die Nachwuchsgewinnung in der Baubranche sind. Diese Folge liefert wertvolle Impulse, warum es sich für Bauherren, Planer, Bauleiter und Unternehmer lohnt, den frühen Planungsprozess aktiv zu gestalten und den Dialog zu suchen.

Trump hatte in seinem Leben schon viele Rollen, aber eines zeigt sich immer deutlicher: In seinem Inneren scheint er weiter ein Baumeister zu sein. Das erklärt wohl auch, warum der Präsident so oft über die verschiedensten Bauvorhaben spricht. Ob sein umstrittener Ballsaal oder einen riesengroßen Triumphbogen in Washington D.C. Wir sprechen heute mit Eric Frey, Leitender Redakteur beim STANDARD über die vielen geplanten Bausünden des Präsidenten und was dahintersteckt.

Alex shares how he and his wife launched a beverage brand on the side while he continued working as a firefighter, and what it really took to figure out the product, branding, distribution, and legal side as they went. He also talks about pushing through uncertainty, making smart investments, and staying resilient when the business nearly got wiped out before it had a real chance to grow.

In diesem Jahr wird Apple 50 Jahre alt. Die Firma hat sich vom kleinen Start-Up zum globalen Tech-Giganten entwickelt. Und einige der Apple-Produkte haben die Welt und die Menschen tiefgreifend verändert. Apples Strategie sei es schon immer gewesen, schon vorhandene Produkte völlig neu zu denken, sagt Annette Baumeister im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Bernhard Seiler. Baumeister ist die Autorin der SWR-Dokuserie "Die Apple-Story: Eine Vision verführt die Welt". Apple sei auch deswegen so erfolgreich, weil das Design der bestimmende Faktor in der Entwicklung sei. Andere Firmen hätten sich immer gefragt: 'Wie soll ein Produkt denn aussehen?'. Bei Apple seien die Fragen von Anfang an vielfältiger: 'Wie soll es sich anfühlen? Wie sieht es aus? Wie scrollt man?'. Und das Design sei nicht nur Äußerlichkeit, auch in den Geräten gehe dieser Schwerpunkt auf Design weiter. Selbst die Chips sollten im Inneren der Geräte perfekt angeordnet sein und alles seinen Platz haben, erklärt Baumeister. Wie Apple auch heute einen wirklichen Produkt-Hit landen könnte, erklärt sie im Interview.

The best decision-makers aren't better at deciding. They're better at controlling when, where, and how they decide. It took me twenty years to figure that out. Most people spend that time trying harder: more discipline, more willpower, more resolve to think clearly under pressure. It doesn't work. That's when mindjacking wins. Not through force. Through the door you left unguarded. The answer isn't trying harder. It's building systems that protect your thinking before the pressure hits. By the end of this episode, you'll have four concrete strategies for doing exactly that, and a one-page system you'll build before we're done. And I have something else to share at the end. Something I've been working toward for twenty years. Let's get into it. Why Willpower Fails and Design Works Ulysses knew his ship would pass the island of the Sirens. He also knew the song was irresistible. Sailors who heard it became incapacitated and drove straight into the rocks. He didn't try to be stronger than it. He had his crew fill their ears with wax and tie him to the mast, with strict orders not to release him, no matter what he said when the music reached him. His calm self setting rules for his compromised self. That's the core of everything in this episode. These are called commitment devices. The decision gets made early, when your thinking is clear, before you're tempted to take the wrong path. Studies tracking self-imposed contracts found that when people added meaningful stakes to their commitments, their follow-through nearly doubled. Not because they became more virtuous, but because they'd taken the choice off the table at the moment they were most likely to get it wrong. Stop asking "How do I resist?" Start asking, "What can I decide now, so I don't have to decide under pressure?" Before you can build the right commitments, you need to know exactly where your thinking breaks down. Not decision-making in general. Yours. Finding Your Personal Vulnerability Think back across the last few months. Where did your thinking most clearly cost you? Some people stall. They keep researching past the point of useful information, using "I need more data" as cover for avoiding a commitment they know they need to make. Others make their worst calls at the end of long days. Saying yes when they mean no, because no requires energy they've already spent. Some get caught by urgency. A deadline appears, the pressure closes off their thinking, and they move fast. Only later do they discover the deadline was manufactured to do exactly that. Others walk into a room with a clear position and walk out agreeing with the loudest voice, unable to explain exactly when they shifted. And some defend decisions past the point where the evidence says stop, because stopping would mean admitting something about themselves they're not ready to face. Identify yours. Write it down before we go further. Your primary vulnerability is a design target, not a character flaw. You can't build around something you haven't named. Four Strategies for Protecting Your Judgment Strategy 1: Control When You Decide Every morning I put on the same thing: a black golf shirt, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. Same brands, same routine, no decisions. My wife tolerates it. I've stopped apologizing for it. It's not a fashion choice. It's a cognitive load choice. Your brain has a finite amount of decision-making capacity each day. Every trivial choice draws from the same reserve you need for the decisions that actually matter. What to wear, what to eat, which route to take. Eliminating those choices doesn't just save time. It protects the mental fuel you'll need later. Decision-making capacity isn't flat across the day. It peaks early, when you're rested and fresh. It degrades, measurably, as conditions erode. The same call made at 8 a.m. and at the end of your seventh consecutive meeting aren't equivalent. Same person, different machine. Pull up your calendar from the last two weeks. Look at when your biggest decisions actually happened. For most people, it's not in a calm moment with a clear head. It's in the hallway, on a rushed call, in the last fifteen minutes of a meeting that ran over. That's not bad luck. That's the default you haven't changed yet. Write a standing rule: no significant, hard-to-reverse commitments after a certain hour or after a certain number of back-to-back meetings without a mandatory pause. Hold it like a policy, not a preference. Because preferences are exactly what disappear under the conditions where you need them most. Strategy 2: Build Your Kitchen Cabinet One of the things I credit most for whatever success I've had in my career isn't a framework or a methodology. It's four people. I call them my kitchen cabinet. They've seen my best decisions and my worst ones. They know when I'm rationalizing. They know when I'm avoiding. And they are not afraid to call me out when I'm off the tracks. Here's what surprises people when I describe them. They're not senior executives. They're not peers from inside my industry. They don't work in any organization I've ever worked for. They're a deliberate mix: different backgrounds, different areas of expertise, different ways of seeing the world. One of them has been in my cabinet for nearly thirty years. I trust them completely, and everything we discuss stays between us. That independence is the whole point. The people inside your organization have something at stake in your decisions. Your peers have their own agendas, even when they don't mean to. Your boss has a preferred outcome. None of that makes them bad advisors. It just means they can't give you the one thing you need most when a decision gets hard: a perspective with no skin in the game. Your kitchen cabinet can. Because they have nothing to gain or lose from what you decide, they can ask the question everyone else in the room is avoiding. They can tell you what you don't want to hear. And they'll do it before you've committed, when it still matters, not after the fact, when all they can do is watch. Build yours deliberately. Four to six people is enough. Prioritize independence over seniority. Look for people who will push back, not people who will reassure. And make the relationship reciprocal. You show up for their decisions too. The cabinet only works if the trust runs both ways and the conversations stay private. You don't need them for every decision. You need them for the ones where you're most at risk of fooling yourself. Strategy 3: Write Your Position Before the Room Fills Up I've sat in enough rooms where I walked in with a clear position and walked out having said almost none of it. Not because I was wrong. Because by the time the senior voice spoke and the heads started nodding, my own analysis felt less certain than it did twenty minutes earlier. The brain doesn't just nudge your answer when social pressure arrives. It rewrites your perception. What you saw before entering the room changes to match what the room already believes, before you've consciously registered the pressure. Before any consequential group decision, write down where you stand. Three sentences. What you believe. What evidence supports it. What would genuinely change your mind. A note on your phone is enough. It doesn't need to be formal. It needs to be external, because your memory will quietly revise itself once the social pressure arrives. Those three sentences are a record of what you actually concluded before the room had a chance to work on you. When the discussion moves toward a position, you can then distinguish between "I'm updating because I heard something new" and "I'm caving because the silence is uncomfortable." Without that record, those two experiences feel identical in the moment, and one of them will reliably win. Strategy 4: Assume the Failure Before You Commit In August 2016, Delta Air Lines ran a routine scheduled test of the backup generator at their Atlanta data center. A transformer caught fire. Three hundred of Delta's 7,000 servers, improperly connected to a single power source, went dark. They couldn't fail over to backups. The servers that stayed online couldn't communicate with the ones that hadn't. The entire system collapsed: passenger check-in, baggage, websites, kiosks, and airport displays. Gone. Delta cancelled 2,100 flights over three days. $150 million in losses. Thousands of passengers slept on airport floors. The system had redundancy designed in. The backup had been tested. The specific failure mode, servers with no alternate power connection, was a known vulnerability that nobody had ever stopped to question. A year before the fire, cognitive psychologist Gary Klein, the researcher who developed the pre-mortem, had written a thought experiment describing almost this exact scenario. Imagine, he wrote, that an airline CEO gathered top management and asked: "Every one of our flights around the world has been cancelled for two straight days. Why?" People would think terrorism first. The real progress, Klein said, would come from mundane answers: a reservation system down, a backup that didn't activate, a cascade nobody had traced in advance. Delta built what Klein described. Without running the question that would have found it. The pre-mortem is that question. Before you commit to a significant decision, assume it's six months later, and the decision failed. Not possibly, but definitely. Then ask: What went wrong? What did you know but not say? What did someone sense but find too awkward to raise in the room? "What could go wrong?" produces hedged answers. People soften concerns to preserve harmony. "It failed. What happened?" changes the psychology entirely. You're not being negative. You're being forensic. The things that surface, the concerns that felt impolitic, the risks that seemed too small to mention, are frequently the ones that end up mattering most. Each of these four strategies is a designed defense against the same thing: the systematic capture of your judgment before you notice it happening. That's mindjacking. And now you have four ways to make it harder. But strategies only work if you remember to use them. And you won't remember. Not when you're depleted at 7pm, not when the room is staring at you, not when your identity is on the line. That's not a character flaw. That's just how it works. So we're going to take everything you just learned and put it on one page. A page you'll sign. A page you'll keep somewhere you'll actually see it. Your calm self, right now, is building the system your future self will thank you for. The people who shape outcomes consistently aren't necessarily the sharpest thinkers in the room. They're the ones whose judgment is still intact when everyone else's has degraded. That's a practice, not a talent. The full video and written deep-dive on mindjacking are linked below at philmckinney.com/mindjacking. Your Decision Constitution Remember the Ulysses insight from the beginning of this episode. Your calm self setting rules for your compromised self. That's exactly what this is. A Decision Constitution is one page. Five commitments. Written when your thinking is clear, so the version of you under pressure has something to stand on. Not a to-do list. Not a productivity hack. A contract with yourself. Here's what goes in it. Your Timing Rule. You already know that your judgment degrades as the day runs long. So name it. What are the specific conditions (time of day, number of back-to-back meetings, hours of sleep) that disqualify you from making a high-stakes, hard-to-reverse call without a mandatory pause first? Write that line. Hold it like a policy. Your Pre-Decision List. Think of the situations where you consistently make choices you later regret. The late-day request you said yes to when you meant no. The urgency that overrode your better judgment. Pick three. Write a standing rule for each, specific enough that you can invoke it without having to think. "I don't make new commitments without sleeping on it." That's a rule. "I'll try to be more careful" is not. Your Pre-Meeting Anchor. Before any meeting where a significant decision will be made, you write down where you stand. Three sentences. What you believe, what evidence supports it, and what would genuinely change your mind. Not in the car on the way. Before. That record is what protects your thinking from the room. Your Pre-Mortem Trigger. Name the threshold that makes a decision significant enough to require a pre-mortem. A dollar amount. An impact on more than a certain number of people. A commitment lasting longer than six months. Whatever your threshold is, write it down. Once a decision crosses it, the pre-mortem is non-negotiable. Your Kitchen Cabinet Trigger. Your cabinet is only useful if you engage them before you've decided, not after. So name the conditions that require you to bring a decision to them first. A decision that's hard to reverse. A situation where you have significant personal stakes in the outcome. A moment where you notice everyone around you wants you to decide a certain way. A decision you find yourself avoiding thinking about clearly. Any one of those is enough. Two or more is non-negotiable. Now print out your decision constitution. Sign it. Put it somewhere you'll actually see it before the moments that count. This is your Ulysses contract. Your clear-headed self, right now, is setting the terms your compromised self will have to honor when the pressure is real, and the easy path is pointing the wrong way. Closing That's Part 2 of the Thinking 101 series. Fifteen episodes. If you've been here from the beginning, you've built something real. The series has been running for 21 weeks. The show behind it has been running for 20 years. And how we got here traces back to a single conversation. Twenty years ago, a mentor of mine, Bob Davis, gave me a challenge I couldn't shake. I'd asked him how I could ever repay him for what he'd done for my career. He laughed and said I couldn't. The only option, he said, was to pay it forward. That's why this show exists. That's why it has always existed. The show was called Killer Innovations because that's what felt right in 2005. Bold, a little provocative, built for a moment when podcasting was brand new, and nobody knew what it was supposed to be. Tens of millions of downloads later, we're still here. We have regular listeners in more than 50 countries. Some of you are younger than the podcast itself. But somewhere along the way, the show became something more specific. It stopped being about innovation tips and started being about the innovation decisions that actually shape outcomes. About the patterns underneath the decisions. About the skills that matter most when the pressure is real. On March 23rd, the show's 20th anniversary, we're making major changes. The podcast. The YouTube channel. All of it. And if you have thoughts about where we've been or where we're going, I want to hear them. There's a contact form at philmckinney.com. Send me a note. I'll see you on the 23rd.   Endnotes  "their follow-through nearly doubled": Gharad Bryan, Dean S. Karlan, and Scott Nelson, "Commitment Contracts," Yale Economics Department Working Paper No. 73 / Yale University Economic Growth Center Discussion Paper No. 980 (October 23, 2009). https://ssrn.com/abstract=1493378. The research draws on Karlan and co-founders' development of StickK.com, a commitment contract platform launched in 2008 at Yale. Platform data consistently shows that users who add meaningful stakes — financial or reputational — to their commitments achieve their goals at roughly double the rate of those who don't. The underlying mechanism was established in Karlan's earlier field research in the Philippines: Nava Ashraf, Dean Karlan, and Wesley Yin, "Tying Odysseus to the Mast: Evidence From a Commitment Savings Product in the Philippines," Quarterly Journal of Economics 121, no. 2 (May 2006): 635–672. doi:10.1162/qjec.2006.121.2.635. https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/121/2/635/1884028.

Also see Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney, Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength (New York: Penguin, 2011). Baumeister's strength model of self-control proposes that willpower, decision-making, and self-regulation all draw from a single, depletable resource — what he termed "ego depletion." Subsequent work has debated the precise mechanism, with some researchers arguing the effect is motivational rather than metabolic. The practical implication, however, is consistent across studies: decision quality degrades as the day progresses, and the effect is most pronounced for complex, high-stakes choices. For a summary of the current scientific debate on the mechanism, see Michael Inzlicht and Brandon J. Schmeichel, "What Is Ego Depletion? Toward a Mechanistic Revision of the Resource Model of Self-Control," Perspectives on Psychological Science 7, no. 5 (2012): 450–463. doi:10.1177/1745691612454134. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26168503/.   "It rewrites your perception": Gregory S.

The key finding: when participants went along with the group, the activity appeared not in the prefrontal cortex — the seat of conscious decision-making — but in the occipital-parietal network responsible for visual and spatial perception. In other words, participants who conformed weren't consciously deciding to lie; the group had altered what they actually perceived. Standing alone, by contrast, activated the amygdala, a region associated with emotional distress — consistent with the experience of social dissent as genuinely uncomfortable rather than merely inconvenient.   "Three hundred of Delta's 7,000 servers": Yevgeniy Sverdlik, "Delta: Data Center Outage Cost Us $150M," Data Center Knowledge, September 8, 2016. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/outages/delta-data-center-outage-cost-us-150m.  Also see W. H. Highleyman, "Delta Air Lines Cancels 2,100 Flights Due to Power Outage," Availability Digest (September 2016). https://availabilitydigest.com/public_articles/1109/delta.pdf. On the morning of August 8, 2016, a fire triggered during a routine backup generator test at Delta's Atlanta data center caused a transformer failure. Approximately 300 of Delta's 7,000 servers were improperly connected to a single power source with no alternate feed, and when that feed failed, those servers went dark. Because those servers couldn't communicate with the rest of the system, the entire network collapsed. Delta cancelled roughly 2,100 flights over three days, leaving an estimated 250,000 passengers stranded. Total losses reached $150 million.   "cognitive psychologist Gary Klein, the researcher who developed the pre-mortem": Gary Klein, "Performing a Project Premortem," Harvard Business Review 85, no. 9 (September 2007): 18–19. https://hbr.org/2007/09/performing-a-project-premortem.  Klein developed the pre-mortem method over several decades of applied research in naturalistic decision-making. The technique asks teams to assume, before committing to a plan, that the plan has already failed — definitively, not possibly — and then work backward to identify causes. Klein's research found that this reframing dramatically increases the willingness of team members to surface concerns they would otherwise suppress to preserve group harmony. The method has since been endorsed by Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler as a practical tool for reducing overconfidence in planning. For Klein's broader framework of naturalistic decision-making, see Gary Klein, Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1998). https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262343251/sources-of-power/.

Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology.  In today's episode, Chris and Dr. Abbie discuss decision fatigue—how making too many choices throughout the day drains mental energy and affects judgment. They explain how stress and lack of sleep make it worse, how it differs from burnout, and why leaders and parents are especially vulnerable. The episode also shares simple, practical strategies to reduce daily decisions, protect mental energy, and prioritize recovery.  [Mar 2, 2026]  00:00 - Intro  00:56 - Show Updates and Sponsors  02:35 - What Decision Fatigue Is  03:34 - Stress, Sleep, and Mental Energy  05:12 - Mental vs. Physical Limits  07:13 - Decision Fatigue vs. Burnout  10:22 - Leadership, Empathy, and Hard Decisions  14:33 - Prevention: Routines and Breaks  20:43 - Advisors and AI Caution  24:38 - Everyday Life and Parenting Load  27:23 - Recovery Outlets and Wrap-Up  28:49 - Closing and Next Month's Topic (Diet Culture)    Find us online:    LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-abbie-maroño-phd    Instagram: @DoctorAbbieofficial    LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/christopherhadnagy    References:   Baumeister, R.

Von einem spezialisierten Techthema haben sich Drohnen zu einer wichtigen Zukunftstechnologie entwickelt, die zahlreiche Standards erfüllen muss, darunter auch vielfältige Sicherheitsfunktionen. Für einen sicheren Drohnenflug müssen alle Systeme zuverlässig funktionieren. Deshalb werden die Komponenten nicht nur während des Flugs überwacht, sondern bereits in der Entwicklungsphase – lange bevor eine Zertifizierung erfolgt. Der CISPA-Forscher Jan Baumeister erklärt im Podcast, welche Drohnentypen es gibt, wie und warum sie zertifiziert werden und wie das von ihm mitentwickelte Tool RTLola beim Monitoring von Drohnenflügen unterstützt. Außerdem gibt er Einblicke in seine Zeit als PhD am CISPA.

Fox Hollow Farm.On the surface, it's a sprawling Indiana estate: polished timber, manicured lawns, that eerie indoor pool glistening under fluorescent lights.But dig a little beneath that pretty façade and you'll uncover that once it was the former home of suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister.And as always, where there is tragedy… something tends to linger.Behind every shadow on this property there are real families who waited years — sometimes decades — for answers. And what makes Fox Hollow Farm such a compelling haunted site isn't just the Baumeister case itself, but the layers that followed: the human remains still surfacing, the ongoing forensic work, the eyewitness accounts from the people who lived there long after the police tape came down. If you think you already know the Herb Baumeister story…The truth is deeper, darker, and far stranger than the documentaries let on.In this episode of the True Hauntings podcast, we're pulling apart why Fox Hollow Farm is considered one of the most haunted true-crime locations in the United States. We'll share the chilling experiences reported by the family who moved in after the Baumeisters, explore the intense paranormal activity documented on the property, and look at what's happening at Fox Hollow now — from modern DNA investigations to the ongoing attempts to identify the victims still waiting for their names. Settle in… this is a story that stays with you long after the recording ends.

Dies ist die Geschichte einer kleinen Stadt und zwei großen Preußenprinzen im nördlichen Brandenburg: Rheinsberg Eine Herbstreise mit Spätsommerwetter Zu verdanken hat sie das Attribut vom Paradies dem preußischen Adel. Der damalige Kronprinz bekam die Erlaubnis, sich am dortigen See ein Schloss zu bauen. Da war er noch ziemlich jung und ziemlich glücklich. Angenehm überrascht bin ich, dass Anfang November 2025 noch so schön die Sonne scheint und die Temperaturen am Mittag über die 18 Grad Marke klettern. Das macht die paradiesische Herrlichkeit noch viel herrlicher. Rheinsberg im Herbst – foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Rheinsberg entdecken In diesem Podcast treffe ich Figuren, Menschen und Begegnungen in Rheinsberg. Der erste Blick sagt mir schon: Ganz schön, schön hier! Kein Wunder, dass der junge Kronprinz Friedrich die Idee entwickelte, hier ein Schloss an den Grienericksee zu bauen. Rheinsberg finden Rheinsberg liegt ziemlich dicht an der Kreisstadt Neuruppin im Landkreis Ostprignitz-Ruppin. Mit dem Auto fährt man, von Berlin aus, knappe zwei Stunden. Die Stadt hat heute rund 8.000 Einwohner, ist aber flächentechnisch eine der größten deutschen Gemeinden. Das heißt auch: Hier gibt es viel Natur und dazugehörige Idylle. Es passt alles für einen Kurz- oder auch Langurlaub. Die Schlossgeschichte Schloss Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Herrschaftshäuser gab es an der Stelle, wo das Schloss steht, schon einige. Der Vorbesitzer verkaufte Land und Gut dem preußischen König und der schenkte es dann seinem Sohn Kronprinz Friedrich. Der „junge“ Fritz beauftragte dann den alten und arrivierten Knobelsdorff als Baumeister. Der baute um, stockte auf und Friedrich konnte einziehen. Es hat ihm gut gefallen aber leider durfte er nur vier Jahre bleiben. Dann starb sein Vater, er wurde König und musste zurück nach Potsdam. Schloss Rheinsberg schenkte er seinem jüngeren Bruder Heinrich, der dort 50 Jahre lebte und residierte. Friedrich der Große – Denkmal für den Kronprinzen am Eingang zum Schlossparl – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Der unbekannte Heinrich Trotz der langen Zeit überstrahlt Friedrich der Große bis heute seinen kleinen Bruder Heinrich. Das sagt auch eine ganze Menge aus über das Verhältnis der Geschwister. Jörg Möller, der 1. Vorsitzende des „Vereins Stadtgeschichte Rheinberg“, spricht im Podcast sehr treffend von Friedrich als Selbstvermarktungsgenie. Jörg Möller, Vorsitzender des Vereins Stadtgeschichte Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Seine Strahlkraft übertraf Heinrich schon zu Lebzeiten und Erfolg ist das, was man aus ihm macht. Denn der „kleine“ Heinrich hat in seinem Leben, jede Menge Erfolge politisch-militärischer Natur sowie in Sachen Diplomatie, Wissenschaft und Kultur. Trotzdem ließ sich schon um 1860 der Schriftsteller Theodor Fontane in seinen „Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg“ darüber aus, dass in Rheinsberg kein Mensch den Prinzen Heinrich kenne. Prinz Heinrich von Preußen – Gemälde in Schloss Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Des Prinzen Geburtstag und Leben 2026 ist ein besonderes Jahr. Prinz Heinrichs 300. Geburtstag hat gerade stattgefunden (18.01.) und Brandenburg, die Schlösserverwaltung, die Stadt Rheinsberg (samt der Touristiker) und die Musikwelt Rheinsberg haben ein Prinz Heinrich-Jahr gestartet. Auf das der Preußenprinz seine ihm gebührende Anerkennung posthum erhält. Schloss Rheinsberg: Blick aus dem Schlosspark – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Erfahrt im Podcast möglichst viel aus seinem Leben, von seinen politischen Einstellungen, seinem Bemühen um Kunst, Musik und Kultur, seiner Orientierung nach Frankreich inklusive einer adelsuntypischen Sympathie für die Aufständischen der Französischen Revolution von 1789. Heinrich fiel aus dem Rahmen, in jeder Hinsicht. Leben für Lust, Literatur und Musik Seine offen gelebte sexuelle Orientierung zum schwulen Leben war außergewöhnlich. Darunter leiden musste seine Frau, die er vermutlich nie geheiratet hätte, wäre nicht der Schlossbesitz davon abhängig gewesen. Bruder Friedrich hatte nicht einfach verschenkt, sondern daran eine Voraussetzung geknüpft: „Keine Frau – kein Schloss!“ Dabei soll die Erwählte, Prinzessin Wilhelmine von Hessen-Kassel aus außergewöhnlich schöne und attraktive Frau gewesen sein. Heinrich kümmerte das nur wenig und irgendwann, war's Wahrheit oder Intrige, schickte er Wilhelmine nach Berlin ins frisch erbaute Prinz-Heinrich-Palais. Das steht noch. Weiß jemand wo? (Schreibt es gern in die Kommentare) Spiegelsaal: Überbleibsel aus Friedrichs Zeiten – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Schloss & Garten Das Schloss lies er nach seinen Vorgaben umbauen. Sein Engagement in Sachen Gestaltung des Schlossparks setzte Maßstäbe.In Briefen beschäftigt er sich mitunter mit Tomantenzucht und -ernte. Morgenstimmung im Rheinsberger Schlosspark – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Politisch vom Hof aufs Abstellgleis gestellt, beschäftigte er sich mit Kultur und Musik. Die Aufführungen von Kammeropern in Rheinsberg waren legendär. Französische Gäste meinten mitunter, die Inszenierungen seien besser als am Hof von Versailles. Heinrich wollte es wissen. Er ließ 1774 ein Schlosstheater bauen für seine Aufführungen. Daneben entstand das Kavaliershaus für Gäste am Hof. Der Name spricht Bände. Schlosstheater & Kavaliershaus: Heute Musikkultur Rheinsberg – Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD „Nebenbei“ war er durchaus als Diplomat erfolgreich, machte (auch politische) Reisen und erzielte, trotz der „Kaltstellung“ in Sachen Macht, bedeutende Erfolge für das Königreich Preußen. Das Schloss Im Podcast machen wir uns auf den Weg. Die Sonne scheint und ich schlendere in Richtung See. Ist das ein Idyll. Das schöne und trotzdem bescheidene Schloss, das glänzende Wasser und im November ein fast leerer Park. Keine Menschenmassen. Wenn das die Leute wüssten, wäre es voller, hier. Auf der Schlossterrasse wartet Michael Fröhlich auf mich, um mir das Kleinod näher zu bringen. Er weist, durchaus stolz darauf hin, dass es hier gerade im Sommer ziemlich voll werden kann. Dann, wenn die Musikkultur Rheinsberg ihr Festival durchführt. Schlossterrasse – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Schloss selber beeindruckt. Heinrich hatte es auf seine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten. Er war nicht nur cleverer Diplomat und Staatsmann, er hat auch gern gefeiert. Und das konnte dauern. Wenn dann noch die Lieblingsverwandtschaft kam, wurde vorher gebaut und anschließend lange gefeiert. Den perfekten Gastgeber hat er immer gegeben. Unterm Strich gibt es viel zu entdecken. Alles führt zur Erkenntnis, dass er seine „Unbekanntheit“ nicht verdient hat. Vielleicht liegt sein „Verschwinden“ auch daran, dass er nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1802 jede Menge Schulden hinterließ. Ein Großteil der Ausstattung musste in dieser Zeit verkauft werden. Danach erlebte Schloss Rheinsberg eine wechselhafte Geschichte, blieb aber im Besitz der Hohenzollern-Familie, bis zur Enteignung durch die Sowjetische Verwaltung im Jahr 1945. Grienericksee – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD In den Jahren der DDR war das Schloss ein Diabetiker-Sanatorium. 1990 ging es in den Besitz der Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg über. Es begann die Zeit der Restaurierung von Schloss und hauptsächlich auch von Schlosstheater und Kavaliershaus. Letztere waren in den letzten Kriegsmonaten 1945 noch schwer beschädigt worden. Als Ruine musste dieser Teil bis in die 1990er Jahre auf eine Restaurierung warten. Im Jahr 2000 begann der Betrieb des neuen Schlosstheaters. Die Kammeroper Rheinsberg hatte genauso eine Heimat, wie die Brandenburgische Musikakademie. Musikkultur Rheinsberg Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Drei Säulen vereinen und ergänzen sich hier in dieser gemeinnützigen Organisation: Die Musikakademie Brandenburg, die Kammeroper Rheinsberg und das Rheinsberger Schlosstheater. Gemeinsam sind sie der Garant des kulturellen Lebens in Stadt und Region und gleichzeitig Festivalveranstalter und pädagogisches Aus- und Fortbildungshaus in Sachen Musik und Musikerziehung. Was so theoretisch klingt ist eine ziemlich einzigartige Musikinstitution, von der vor Jahren niemand glaubte, dass sie einen so durchschlagenden Erfolg hat. Erinnerungen machen, die Funken sprühen Hier entsteht das Programm des jährlichen Kammeroper- und Sommerfestivals. Im Podcast kommen sowohl der Leiter der Musikakademie Felix Görg als auch der neue künstlerische Leiter des Musikkultur Rheinsberg, Jelle Dierickx zu Wort. Felix Görg, Leiter der Musikakademie (links) & Jelle Dierickx, Künstl. Leiter Musikkultur Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ich bin nun weder Musikwissenschaftler noch Fachmann in Sachen Oper, Kammeroper oder musikalische Bildung. Trotzdem hätte ich mich mit Felix Görg und Jelle Dierickx stundenlang unterhalten können. Sagt mir gern in den Kommentaren, ob Ihr genauso denkt. Das musikalische Rheinsberg 2026 Anfang November wollte er noch nicht mit dem Programm für 2026 herausrücken. Inzwischen ist es veröffentlicht und bietet manch Klassisches, wie mehrere Kammeropern, aber auch ein Wandelkonzert, ein Liederabend für Wilhelmine und Heinrich und gefeiert werden darf auch mit einem schwedischen Sommerfest. Musikfreunde werden sicher auch in diesem Jahr von der Vielfältigkeit der Musikkultur Rheinsberg begeistert sein.

Es ist mit den rund 8.000 Einwohnern in der Tat nicht riesengroß. Aber Rheinsberg liegt bezaubernd in sehr viel wundervoller Natur zwischen unendlich vielen Seen und bietet eine verzaubernde Atmosphäre. Letztlich bietet die Region fast Alles, was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht.

Verlockend ist der gebratene Zander aus dem See im Fischerhof, direkt am See. Zander mit Senfsoße und Linsengemüse im Fischerhof – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Für die Kaffee- und Kuchenzeit empfehle ich zudem noch das Café Claire am Kirchplatz. Ich hatte dort einen Birnen-Schmandkuchen zum Niederknien. Café Claire: Birnen-Schmandkuchen macht glücklich – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Übernachten Hotels, große wie kleine gibt es einige. Mein Geheimtipp, praktisch getestet, wurde der „Gasthof Endler“ direkt am Triangelplatz. Von hier aus ist fast jede Attraktion in längstens 10 Fußminuten zu erreichen. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich und mit allem ausgestattet, was mann und frau braucht. Gasthof & Fleischerei Endler, Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Meine besondere Empfehlung sind die unglaublich leckeren Buletten, die die Hausmetzgerei täglich im Angebot hat und die Übernachtungsgäste, mehr als oft, auch auf dem Frühstücksbüffet finden. Besichtigungen Haus der Stadtgeschichte – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Sehenswert ist das Haus der Stadtgeschichte. Hier kann man wirklich tief in die Rheinsberger Historie eintauchen. Wenn im Sommer die Sonne scheint, dann sollte man eigentlich auch eine „schnieke“ Bootstour machen. Wandern oder „Böötchen fahren“ kann man ohnehin. Bootstour ist eigentlich “Pflicht” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Touristische Infos …gibt es in der gut bestückten Tourist-Info in der Mühlenstraße.

In today's episode, we dig into one of the most powerful (and most misunderstood) features of the human brain: your built in negativity bias. You'll learn:why your brain holds onto negative experienceswhy “reality” is filtered, not objectivehow the Reticular Activating System (RAS) decides what you noticeand how mountain biking is a surprisingly effective tool for retraining your attentionIf you've ever wondered why one bad ride, one mistake, or one negative comment sticks in your mind far longer than all the good stuff combined, this episode will finally help you make sense of it and CHANGE it! You'll learn practical, science-backed tools to start training your attention today (on the trail and in daily life) so your brain becomes better at noticing possibilities, capabilities, and micro-wins instead of dangers and mistakes to build a more supportive inner environment.We explore:Baumeister et al., “Bad Is Stronger Than Good”the fast subcortical threat pathway that triggers your amygdala before you can thinkwhy positive moments fade unless you consciously reinforce themhow attention literally rewires your neural pathway Hebbian learningand why your RAS acts like a “bouncer,” filtering your world based on what you engage with✨ Patreon Bonus: Patrons get a free downloadable cheat sheet that summarizes all tools and concepts from today's episode.Join here to get it PLUS other exclusive perks: https://www.patreon.com/c/rideandinspire This episode is not sponsored.

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you're meant to "do alone." Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "inner work" but still feel disconnected, this episode is the medicine.     What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00:00 - Opening SuperLife intro narration. 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Therasage — family-driven healing technology, infrared and natural frequency support, details on discount. 00:02:11 - Darin begins the episode — "You were never meant to do this alone." 00:02:22 - The forgotten biology of community and why humans are not built for isolation. 00:03:01 - Your nervous system regulates in relationship — the vagus nerve, safety, co-regulation. 00:03:19 - Social engagement system — coherence, cortisol regulation, belonging as biology. 00:04:03 - Social pain = physical pain; the Baumeister research; the architecture of human connection. 00:05:01 - Tribes, proximity, shared life — Dunbar's number and the limits of real human networks. 00:05:30 - Loneliness as physiology — cortisol elevation, inflammation, disrupted sleep, gray-matter changes. 00:07:01 - Personal growth was never meant to be personal — autonomy, competence, relatedness, love. 00:07:55 - If nobody sees you, your nervous system can't relax — mirrors vs willpower. 00:08:31 - Social contagion of behavior — your network shapes your health. 00:09:01 - Who are you wired into? Environment as epigenetic instruction. 00:10:12 - Why online spaces generate stress instead of transformation. 00:10:35 - Darin's vision: community as a practice, not performance. 00:11:29 - Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste — plastic waste, sustainability, clean ingredients, discount code. 00:13:11 - What if growth wasn't a grind? What if healing was tribal again? 00:13:35 - Building intentional space — not fandom, not following, but practice. 00:14:11 - Supporting the nervous system through community; truth over scrolling. 00:15:04 - Why Patreon — structure, privacy, belonging, circle not feed. 00:15:23 - People looking for truth, depth, real connection — not performance. 00:15:51 - Start building your circle; align with those who align with you. 00:16:12 - You need to be seen, not fixed — community as transformation. 00:17:00 - One person can change your life — the power of being mirrored. 00:17:31 - Men's group, friendships, working out — the daily relational fabric. 00:18:01 - If you're lonely or disconnected, the desire for connection already shifts your biology. 00:18:41 - Darin reflects on a hard year, pain, stem cells, and the deeper healing found in being witnessed. 00:19:26 - Every cell responds when you say yes to deeper connection — the universe moves with it. 00:20:07 - Understanding human biology: we want love, connection, safety, belonging. 00:20:36 - Cutting through "what do you eat" questions — the real priority is connection. 00:21:00 - Closing: "Joy and happiness. Connection. We are built for it… I love you."     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.     Join the SuperLife Patreon: This is where Darin now shares the deeper work: - weekly voice notes - ingredient trackers - wellness challenges - extended conversations - community accountability - sovereignty practices Join now for only  $7.49/month at https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "You don't need to be fixed.

Baumeister, Julius; Spinrath, Andreas www.deutschlandfunk.de, Tag für Tag

Mitte November haben sich Bern und Washington geeinigt: Die USA senken die seit August geltenden Zölle auf Warenimporte aus der Schweiz. Im Gegenzug kommt die Schweiz den USA in zahlreichen Handelsfragen entgegen. Nun steht fest, die Zollsenkung soll rückwirkend ab Mitte November gelten. Weitere Themen: Die vereinigte Bundesversammlung hat SVP-Bundesrat Guy Parmelin am Mittwoch mit einem Glanzresultat zum Bundespräsident gewählt. Der Waadtländer ist damit zum zweiten Mal Bundespräsident. Er hat eine bemerkenswerte Entwicklung in seiner Zeit im Bundesrat hinter sich. Rund 80'000 Menschen arbeiten in der Schweizer Baubranche. Ihre Löhne oder Arbeitszeiten sind im Landesmantelvertrag geregelt. Dieser läuft jedoch Ende Jahr aus und bis anhin konnten sich Baumeister und Gewerkschaften nicht auf einen neuen Vertrag einigen.

Sport statt Netflix. Das Handy liegen lassen und konzentriert ein Buch lesen. Für die Klausur lernen und sich nicht ablenken lassen. Wie schön wäre es, das zu können! Die Psychologie weiß schon lange, dass Menschen mit Selbstkontrolle und Willenskraft ein besseres Leben führen. Nur wie wird man so? Kann man das trainieren? Und wenn ja, worauf kommt es an?

You've heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here's the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.In this episode, I break down why most health advice is only a sliver of the full picture—and why lasting change doesn't come from copying and pasting what worked for someone else. Instead, you'll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curiosity, patience, and small, consistent actions that actually get down into your cells. You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong story.Here's what we cover:Why most “truths” about health are missing contextThe real reason your results aren't changingHow long it actually takes to see change at the cellular levelThe drip-drip-drip method vs. the bucket approach to health5 evidence-based habits to start today: walk, track, sleep, plan, eat proteinWhat your biology needs (and what it doesn't)There's no magic protocol. Just consistent inputs over time. Start anywhere.

Man this was a fun and intense spooky season episode.  First, we are joined by CJ from the Rainbow Crimes podcast and then Arthur covers a few things ranging from recent mental health struggles and to his gaming addiction to Dandy's World.  All four of us dig into the case of Herb Baumeister.  Herb is a possibly (and likely) gay man himself who hunted other gay men whom he brought back to his home to murder.  In addition, authorities in Indiana and Ohio believe him to also be the I-70 Strangler and victims of both series of murders were found on his farm.  To date over 1pppp bone fragments have been discovered there.  We cover Herb's family, his somewhat creepy early life, his eventual marriage to Juliana Saiter and their relationship and so very much more.  We talk about the murders, the victims we know about and we talk about the hauntings that seem to go on to this very day in this special spooky season episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Episode 386: In the last episode, we explored the origins of Herbert Baumeister and the early days at Fox Hollow, tracing the stories of early disappearances of gay men around Indiana. The disappearances beginning in the late 1980s and into the 1990s signalled the start of a wave of heartbreak that swept through Indianapolis's gay community, leaving families and friends desperate for answers.  In this episode, we turn our focus to the other lives forever altered by Herb Baumeister's crimes. We'll share what's known about the final days of Baumeister's other victims. Among them were Jeffrey Allan Jones, Roger Alan Goodlet, Michael Frederick Keirn, Steven Spurlin Hale, Richard Douglas Hamilton Jr., Johnny Bayer, Allen Wayne Broussard, and Daniel Thomas Halloran. As their stories unfold, we'll follow the determined police investigation, the pressure that began to close in on Baumeister, and his frantic flight from justice. This case, originating in quiet Indiana neighbourhoods, fades out across the border—coming to a haunting end here in Canada. Episode Sources: Who Was Herb Baumeister?

Episode 385: The killings at Fox Hollow Farm are one of Indiana's darkest chapters. In the early 1990s, Herb Baumeister, a husband, father, and thrift store owner, lived a double life in the upscale suburb of Westfield. Behind the facade of Fox Hollow Farm, he is believed to have lured young men, mostly from local gay bars, to his home, where police later uncovered the remains of at least 25 victims scattered across the estate. Hundreds of burned and crushed bones were found by investigators, revealing years of concealed brutality. As the net closed in, Baumeister fled to Canada and took his own life at Pinery Provincial Park, leaving unanswered questions and devastated families in his wake. Sources: Who Was Herb Baumeister?

Richard Estep on Fox Hollow Farm: Inside the Serial Killer's Mansion In this episode, we sit down with Richard Estep, paranormal investigator and author of The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, to explore one of America's most disturbing true crime stories. Fox Hollow Farm, located in Westfield, Indiana, was once the idyllic suburban estate of businessman Herb Baumeister. But in the 1990s, this home became the backdrop for a series of murders that shocked the Midwest. Young men from Indianapolis's gay community vanished without a trace, until investigators discovered the horrifying truth: the remains of at least 11 victims, and possibly 20 or more, scattered across the property. Baumeister's double life — successful entrepreneur by day, predator by night — unraveled in 1996 when police searched the estate. Shortly after, Herb fled to Canada and took his own life, leaving behind no confession and a chilling legacy. Richard Estep's book The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, co-written with current property owner Rob Graves, dives deep into both the true crime history and the paranormal phenomena reported at the estate. In our interview, Estep shares insights from his research and investigations: The chilling discoveries investigators made after Baumeister's death. Survivor accounts of Baumeister's attacks. The eerie activity reported by the Graves family and tenants who lived in the home after the murders. What Fox Hollow Farm teaches us about the lingering impact of violent crime. This conversation isn't just about hauntings—it's about the intersection of crime, psychology, and the shadows left behind at Fox Hollow Farm. Whether you're drawn to the true crime, the paranormal, or both, Estep's perspective sheds light on why this case continues to haunt investigators, families, and readers decades later.

Leiter des   Architekturmuseum der TU München)  Prof. Egon Johannes Greipl - ehemaliger (seit 30-11-2013) bayerischer   Generalkonservator Geschichte: Noch mehr Interesse an Geschichte?

Radiowissen finden Sie auch in der ARD Audiothek: ARD Audiothek | Radiowissen JETZT ENTDECKEN Das vollständige Manuskript gibt es HIER. Lesen Sie einen Ausschnitt aus dem Manuskript: ERZÄHLERIN Endlich, nach beinahe 16 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit ist es soweit. - Jetzt, 1843, ist sie fertiggestellt: Die königliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek in München.   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) Dieser in den großartigsten Verhältnissen angelegte Bau wurde im italienischen-mittelalterlichen Style ausgeführt. -    ERZÄHLERIN - schreibt ein zeitgenössischer bautechnischer Führer -   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) - In seinen ausgedehnten Räumlichkeiten umschließt das Gebäude die außerordentlich reiche, gegenwärtig 1.300.000 Bände zählende Staatsbibliothek.   MUSIK    1. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) Da denkt man - riesengroß - da müssen alle Bücher der Welt hineinpassen -   ERZÄHLERIN Sagt Egon Greipl, (ehemaliger) oberster Denkmalschützer in Bayern. -   2. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) - und dann geht man hinein und sieht, da ist eine Menge Platz verschenkt worden für eine Treppe und solche repräsentative Sachen.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Eine Prachttreppe, die seinerzeit nur der König benutzen durfte. An ihr hat man bis zuletzt gearbeitet. 54 Stufen muss die Majestät überwinden, um aus dem dunklen Eingangsbereich in das Licht, zu den Büchern, zur Wissenschaft zu gelangen. - Obwohl der König in den letzten Jahren meist ein schwieriger Auftraggeber gewesen ist, ständig an den Plänen etwas ändert oder ändern lässt, die Treppe findet selbst der Architekt so schlecht nicht:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Für die Haupttreppe stehe ich gut, das ist die pompöseste die wenigstens in Deutschland existiert. Diese gefällt mir selbst.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Und das ist der Baumeister des 152 Meter langen und 24 Meter hohen Monumentalbaus: Friedrich von Gärtner. Die Bibliothek: sein erster Auftrag für König Ludwig I. - Vor 16 Jahren, 1827, ließ Ludwig den gar nicht mehr so jungen Architekten gewähren: Gärtner soll nun endlich sein erstes Gebäude überhaupt bauen. Und dann gleich ein so großes.   3. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ein riesiger Bau. Und die besondere Pointe oder Gemeinheit könnte man auch sagen, liegt darin, dass er diesen Bau an der von Klenze geplanten Ludwigsstraße vorgesehen hat...   ERZÄHLERIN - so Winfried Nerdinger, Architekturhistoriker aus München. - Die Ludwigsstraße, sie ist des Königs Lieblingskind, sie soll seine Prachtmeile werden...     4. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Klenze hat ja diese Straße komplett geplant, das war "seine Straße", er hat den ganzen südlichen Teil bereits mit Neubauten bestückt und jetzt mitten hinein in seine Straße, der größte Bau überhaupt bis dahin, die Staatsbibliothek, da bekommt ausgerechnet sein Konkurrent den Auftrag. Und das war sicherlich für Klenze ein Schlag.   MUSIKAKZENT   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Leo Klenze, zwei Baumeister in königlichen Diensten - ein Berufsleben lang lauern sie wie Skylla und Charybdis, die beiden Ungeheuer, an der Meerenge von Messina. Und, um im mythologischen Bild zu bleiben, kein königlicher Auftrag soll an ihnen ungeschoren vorbei kommen.   5. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Die waren beide nicht von Pappe, um es mal salopp zu formulieren und haben mit allen Mitteln sich gegenseitig bekämpft und für ihre Karriere gekämpft.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist er alt, da wird der junge begabte Nachwuchsarchitekt Friedrich Gärtner Ludwig vorgestellt. Und wer bringt ihn zum Kronprinzen? Der 7 Jahre ältere Klenze. Der, ein protestantischer Preuße, ist schon seit einem Jahr in Diensten des Königshofs.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Dass dieser zum Faktotum geworden ist, ersah ich schon längst, den Grad aber ersah ich da näher.   6. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Als drittes muss man immer noch den König mit einbeziehen, genauer gesagt, den Kronprinzen, der beide letztlich wie Schachfiguren in seinem Spiel benutzt hat.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Ich sah nur zu deutlich, dass einem schlechten Schachspieler leicht eine Figur genommen und die andere dafür hingesetzt werden kann.   MUSIKAKZENT    ERZÄHLERIN Über Gärtners Karriereleiter sind wir Sprosse um Sprosse relativ gut informiert. Denn mehr als 30 Jahre lang schreibt er Briefe, an Martin von Wagner. -    7. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Nun: der Martin von Wagner war eigentlich der Kunsthändler des Kronprinzen in Rom.   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner ist der Freund von Friedrichs Vater, dem Hofbauintendanten Andreas Gärtner. Und auch wenn die Mutter Bedenken gegenüber Wagner äußert, Friedrich beschwichtigt:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Deine Warnung, gute Muttern über Wagner ist recht gut, allein sei versichert, sie war nicht nötig. So kenne ich meine Leute noch. Wagner ist ein guter, ernsthaft rechtschaffener Mann, allein nie für einen Freund geschaffen.   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Wagner werden trotzdem Freunde, gute Freunde. Netter Nebeneffekt für Gärtner: Wagner hat einen sehr guten Draht zum Kronprinzen. - Gärtner macht in seinen Briefen aus seinem Herzen keine Mördergrube. Winfried Nerdinger:   8. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ich glaube auch, dass man natürlich mit gewissen Abstrichen diesen Briefwechsel als ziemlich wichtige authentische Aussage nehmen kann, weil er sich da einem Freund geöffnet hat - Wir können da doch relativ tiefe Einblick in das Gefühlsleben Gärtners tun und in das Intrigenspiel bei Hofe.   ERZÄHLERIN Über 100 Mal wird die Post von Gärtner die Zeiten überdauern, die Post von Wagner retour dagegen nicht. - Kennen gelernt haben sich die beiden in Rom. -   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Rom ist nebenbei gesagt der herrlichste Ort, um einem als Mensch die besten Lebensregeln zu erteilen!   MUSIK  ERZÄHLERIN Im Oktober 1814 kommt Gärtner nach Rom. Nach seinem Architekturstudium in München bei Carl von Fischer, nach Lehrjahren in Paris, zieht der 22-Jährige in die deutsche Künstlerkolonie. "Quartiere degli Infedeli", "Viertel der Abtrünnigen", nennen es die Römer, wegen der vielen deutschen Protestanten. Der Katholik Gärtner kennt bald alle Trattorien und Weinstuben rund um seine Wohnung in der Via Sistina, nahe der spanischen Treppe. Jetzt will er wieder lernen, dieses Mal aber das Leben: MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der Durst war groß, der Wein war gut und so wurde allgemeiner Jubel unter der Gesellschaft. Eine Gitarre, die uns begleitete, spielte bald ihren Saltarello, bald ihren Walzer...   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner nimmt Friedrich in seine Obhut, im Auftrag von Andreas Gärtner, dessen Vater. Er zeigt ihm die mediterrane Lebensart, er bringt ihn in die Kreise der Rom-liebenden deutschen Künstler. Die feiern sich und "ihren" bayerischen Kronprinzen, den Kunstmäzen, am liebsten im Caffè Greco - keine zwei Minuten von der Wohnung Gärtners entfernt. Hier treffen sich auch die Mitglieder eines von Martin von Wagner initiierten Geheimbundes: "Nemesis" heißt er : MUSIK    9. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Diese Künstler haben sich die Nemesianer genannt. - Die Nemesis als ihre Göttin, die dem einzelnen das Geschick zuweist, dem einen das Gute, dem anderen das schlechte. So etwas, was für Künstler ja ganz wichtig ist: Der eine steigt auf, der andere steigt ab...   ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis gibt sich zunächst wankelmütige, was das Schicksal des jungen Friedrich betrifft. Der "Orlando furioso", wie ihn seine Freunde jetzt rufen, genießt zwar in Rom das süße Leben in vollen Zügen, ganz untätig ist er freilich nicht. Er zeichnet etliche antike Ruinen, fährt nach Pompeji und Sizilien, besteigt die Vulkane Italiens. Und er beteiligt sich - auf sanftes Drängen seines Vaters -  am Wettbewerb zum Bau der Münchner Glyptothek. Mit Hilfe seines Vaters, der die Pläne ein wenig korrigiert und nachbessert, wird sein Entwurf vom Preisgericht als der für den Bau geeignetste befunden. Den Auftrag bekommt, allem zu Trotz, wie kann es anders sein, Leo Klenze.    MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Thermometer 5 Grad Beaumont - Pluvianopolis am 12ten des 8. Regenmonats 1817 nach Christi Geburt - Parameter (wie gewöhnlich): Regen, Hagel, Wind.   ERZÄHLERIN Gärtner ist nach fast drei Jahren Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus wieder in München. In Pluvianopolis, der Regenstadt. Er schreibt an Wagner nach Rom:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der ewigen Nemesis zum Gruße! Ohne Nachrichten aus Rom bin ich ein geschlagener Mensch. Oh große Nemesis! Was habe ich verschuldet, dass du gerade jetzt mich ins Exil geschickt, wo ich dickes Bier um 12 Uhr saufen muss. MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis meint es tatsächlich nicht gut mit ihm. Nicht nur dickes Bier und saurer Wein schlagen ihm auf den Magen: In München, im Exil, findet er keine adäquate Anstellung, obwohl sein Vater immer noch königlich bayerischer Hofbauintendant ist, also de facto der oberste Baumeister. Und er würde so gerne in dessen Fußstapfen treten.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Es ist traurig, wenn  man mehrere Jahre sich bemüht, um etwas zu lernen und am Ende wieder dort hingestellt ist, von wo man ausgegangen. Seit meiner Zurückkunft sitze ich da und lege die Hände in den Schoß.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist Gärtner mittlerweile. Er sehnt sich nach Rom. Hier im kalten Norden, in München: -  "Ein Windloch". Die Mutter stirbt. Er fühlt sich dazu verpflichtet, die Familie finanziell zu unterstützen, lebt aber im Gegenteil vom Geld des Vaters. Und dann auch noch das:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Mit unverändertem Gemüte durchlas ich heute die Entlassung meines alten und würdigen Vaters von seinem treuen Dienste und dessen Erstattung durch Klenze mit einer vermehrten Besoldung von 3000 fl.   10. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Aus den Briefen, die er an seinen Freund Martin von Wagner schrieb, kommt ganz klar heraus, dass diese Verdrängung seines Vaters als Hofbauintend

Gavin talks to us about desiring to have the gifts.

"You wake up at 5:20, you put your tee in the ground, you hit your shot, and then the four of you walk off to the ball and you hit it again, and you keep on going. It's very simplistic. You go left foot, right foot until you're finished. 72 holes."Jason has tackled one of golf's most brutal endurance tests 13 times: the Bandon Solstice. This isn't your casual weekend round. Participants play 72 holes of walking-only golf in a single day, starting at 5:20 AM on the longest day of the year at Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon. What makes this particularly nasty? Try 50,000+ steps across four championship courses with no carts allowed. Jason learned the hard way when his caddie bailed after 36 holes during his first attempt, forcing him to carry his own bag the rest of the way. The preparation is serious business: "You need to eat a lot of food the night before. You should be uncomfortable when you leave the dinner table" because you'll burn around 10,000 calories during the challenge! Weather can be absolutely brutal. Jason recalls 60-mph winds so fierce that "the sand looked like water" flowing across the beach below the clifftop courses. Getting in requires either legacy status (like Jason earned by pestering the original GM into making it official) or winning what's essentially a lottery that sells out within minutes. The waiting list is rumored to be 10 years deep."It's absolutely doable to such a broad range of fitness levels," Jason insists, though surviving involves equal parts physical endurance and mental fortitude. Expect rewards in the form of gift bags, stories at McKees Pub, and bragging rights for completing golf's ultimate marathon!For more information about the Bandon Dunes Solstice, please visit: https://bandondunesgolf.com/golf/golf-events/For more information on our 2026 Desert Classic Tournament, please visit: DesertClassicTournament.comSubscribe to our FREE Female Golfer Facebook Group: First TCrew [Behind the Scenes of Women's Golf]Get in touch!Instagram: @tori_totlisTikTok: @tori_totlisYouTube: @tori.totlisWebsite: CompeteConfidenceGolf.comBe sure you are subscribed to our podcast to automatically receive the NEW episodes weekly!!!

We make thousands of decisions every day, but under pressure, those choices become harder, and more important.When I first came across Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton's story, what struck me wasn't just what she's achieved, it's how she thinks under pressure.In this episode, I unpack a habit I took from her years on the frontline of the fire service, one that has helped her make life-or-death decisions and one we can all use in our everyday lives. It's a habit built not on instinct or speed, but on clarity.Sabrina taught me that when we freeze under pressure, it's rarely because we don't care, it's because we care so much, we don't want to get it wrong. Whether you're managing a team, making a personal change, or just trying to feel less overwhelmed in high-stakes situations, this conversation will help you understand how to make better choices under pressure, and why the smartest leaders aren't the fastest, they're the most prepared.We explore:How fear disrupts our thinkingWhy we freeze in critical momentsThe power of the pauseA decision-making tool you can use todayWhat it means to lead with clarity, not just speedThis one's for anyone facing the hard calls, and wanting to meet them with confidence.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Stress and cognitive flexibility: The role of the prefrontal cortex, (Arnsten, A.F.T 2009)Decision Fatigue Exhausts Self-Regulatory Resources, (Baumeister, R.F., Vohs, K.D., et al 1998) Stress Promotes Habit-Based Behavior (Schwabe, L., Wolf, O.T, 2009)The Timing of Stress and Decision-Making (Pabst, S., Brand, M., Wolf, O.T, 2013)Listen to the full episode with Sabrina Cohen-Hatton: https://pod.fo/e/18cd7c
