Guide to happiness

Werner Tiki Küstenmacher is not only an amusing speaker, he is also very good at drawing. So the lecture on the simplification of life was not only a pleasure to listen to, but also a feast for the eyes.

Simplify your life

This is what the author calls the process of self-management, which leads to a more satisfied personality, from a simple tidying of the desk to a good work-life balance. He sheds light on organizational, personal and social aspects of our everyday lives and presents methods and instructions on how we can declutter and slow down our often unnecessarily overloaded, hectic lives and simply relax.

We take on too much

Don't we all suffocate in our own chaos sometimes? Whether it's a chaos of thoughts or just a cluttered desk. The only thing that helps is tidying up. But not all at once. Don't we all have that little bastard that wants to be tricked? Werner Tiki Küstenmacher affectionately calls this inner adversary Limbi. This refers to the limbic system, which is there to protect us in moments of danger. Nothing works without the limbi. But unfortunately, Limbi cannot be forced to be motivated. That's why we often find it so difficult to change, say goodbye, make decisions and do things that we have to do. Limbi tends to be pessimistic and suspicious.

Let's kiss our inner bastard

One drawer at a time, that's the trick. This also applies to life drawers. And always with a smile on your face. Get rid of old burdens, step by step. The author also includes weight. If Limbi thinks the sofa is an excellent alternative to jogging, it's time to negotiate. Don't let yourself put up with everything!!! But don't fight. Lovingly point out how nice the shower will be afterwards. Let's hold a carrot in front of Limbi's nose. So let's kiss our inner bastard instead of kicking it.

The world is better than we think

Bad news is more likely to find its way into the media than good news. Therefore, to all regulars. When everyone knows that the end is near and the world is surely coming to an end, take your hat off and leave the sinking regulars' table boat. Werner Tiki Küstenmacher's conclusion: focus on the solutions instead of getting stuck on the problems.an hour has rarely flown by as quickly as it did this morning at the Park Hyatt. And to hear so many people laughing in one room at 9 a.m. was a heart-warming change. Thank you for that.
