Für diese Sommer-Highlightfolge holen wir eine beliebte Folge aus Januar 2025 zurück: „Werde die beste Version deiner selbst“ – ein Satz, mit dem ich wenig anfangen kann. Denn nach 25 Jahren in der Beratung von Menschen erlebe ich immer wieder, dass dieser Anspruch oft mehr Druck erzeugt, als dass er Mut macht und Freiheit schenkt.Gemeinsam mit Andreas Bormann spreche ich über fünf Gründe, warum du nicht die beste Version deiner selbst werden solltest – und warum das keineswegs bedeutet, dass alles beim Alten bleiben muss. Eine Folge über Selbstoptimierung, Veränderung und die Frage, wie wir wachsen können, ohne ständig das Gefühl zu haben, noch besser werden zu müssen.Und dann ist unsere Sommerpause auch schon fast vorbei: Am 1. September sind wir mit einer ganz besonderen neuen Folge zurück – passend zum Erscheinen meines neuen Buches "Freude - Das Leben ins Herz schließen"Mehr zum Thema der Episode:Melanie Wolfers, Freunde fürs Leben – Von der Kunst, mit sich selbst befreundet zu sein

Fünf Prioritäten Damit dein Leben gelingt, so lautet die Podcastfolge von Andreas Bormann und mir, die ursprünglich im Februar 2023 erschienen ist.Im Rahmen des aktuellen Highlightprogramms während der Sommerpause von GANZ SCHÖN MUTIG erscheint diese beliebte Folge hier erneut. Richtest du dein Leben bewusst aus? Was ist dir besonders wichtig? Aus dem Ordensleben werden seit Jahrhunderten fünf Prioritäten für ein gelingendes Leben überliefert: Schlaf, ausgewogene Ernährung und Bewegung, Ich-Zeit und Meditation, Beziehungen pflegen, Tätigkeit oder Arbeit. Bei uns steht häufig unbemerkt die Arbeit an erster Stelle und verdrängt alles andere. Doch es lohnt, die Prioritäten des eigenen Lebens nochmal neu zu überdenken. Denn nur wenn wir Ziele vor Augen haben, können wir unsere Lebenskraft bündeln und uns in jene Richtung bewegen, die uns wichtig ist.Mehr zum Thema der Episode:Zu den fünf Prioritäten: Melanie Wolfers, Zuversicht – Die Kraft, die an das Morgen glaubt, bene!, 5.

"Wo alles sehr laut ist, tut man sich nicht unbedingt durch noch extremere Lautstärke hervor", sagt Marco dos Santos aus dem Audi Designteam. Die "Livery", also das Außendesign des Formel-1®-Boliden, sorgt dafür, dass Zuschauer ihn auf der Rennstrecke in Sekundenbruchteilen erkennen und dem Audi Revolut F1® Team zuordnen können. Das Design muss so klar und einprägsam sein, dass es sogar Kinder nachmalen können. Dabei setzt sich Audi bewusst reduziert von "lauten" Farbgebungen anderer Rennställe ab. Im Gespräch mit Moderatorin Brigitte Theile verrät der Designer, worauf es bei der Gestaltung ankommt und wo – im Vergleich zu Serienfahrzeugen – die größten Herausforderungen lagen.

Wir sehnen uns nach Urlaub, freien Tagen und kleinen Auszeiten – und doch fällt es uns oft schwer, wirklich zur Ruhe zu kommen. Warum ist das so? In dieser Folge sprechen Melanie Wolfers und Tim Niedernolte darüber, weshalb Pausen weit mehr sind als bloße Unterbrechungen der Arbeit. Sie erkunden, warum wir Stille und Leerlauf oft meiden, was unser ständiger Drang nach Beschäftigung mit uns macht und weshalb echte Erholung ein Schlüssel zu einem gelingenden Leben sein kann.Melanie zeigt, dass Pausen nicht verdient werden müssen, sondern zum natürlichen Rhythmus des Lebens gehören. Sie erzählt, warum unser Leben manchmal erst dann wieder „zum Klingen“ kommt, wenn wir leerer werden, statt immer mehr Eindrücke zu sammeln. Außerdem gibt sie konkrete Impulse, wie kleine und große Auszeiten im Alltag gelingen können – auch ohne Urlaub am Meer oder in den Bergen.Eine Einladung, das Nichtstun neu zu entdecken und der eigenen Sehnsucht nach Ruhe Raum zu geben.

Welcome to the second episode of Survival By The Book, the podcast series where local librarians learn about how to prepare for emergency situations because being prepared shouldn't be complicated. What does it really mean to be prepared — not just for emergencies, but for uncertainty itself?In this episode we continue our conversation on emergency preparedness by exploring the stages of a crisis and the critical difference between preparation and mitigation. Together, we unpack how emergencies unfold, how alerts and warnings are designed to keep communities informed, and why the choices we make before a disaster can shape how we recover afterward.We talk about how to become "antifragile" and not simply survive difficult situations, but learn how preparation, adaptability, and community support can help people become more resilient through them. We learn that preparedness isn't about fear — it's about creating confidence, flexibility, and connection before crisis strikes.Recommended readings and sources: Ready.gov/planNOAA, Watch Warning Advisory Explained, https://www.weather.gov/sjt/WatchWarningAdvisoryExplainedAlert Media, The 4 Stages of Crisis and How to Manage Them, https://www.alertmedia.com/blog/stages-of-crisis/CAL OES News, Evacuation Warnings vs. Evacuation Orders, https://www.news.caloes.ca.gov/evacuation-warnings-vs-evacuation-orders/Civil Air Patrol, Advanced Operational Risk Management, https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/Advanced_Risk_Management_Guide_b04e46226f614.pdfPreparedness Now! by Edwards,Aton The Disaster-ready Home by Stewart, CreekCreated by the Podcast Team at the Harris County Public Library.www.hcpl.netPodcast Team Members include: Beth Krippel, John Harbaugh, Mary Mink, Dylan Smith, Sadina Shawver, Alinda Mac, John Schaffer, Jennifer Finch, Katelyn Helberg, Darcy Casavant, Darla Pruitt and Nancy Hu
