The meaning in management
I now hear more frequently that the young generation of managers is no longer striving for money and power, but is looking for meaning in their work. That sounds very encouraging and nice at first. But I think that what I would find in the „meaning“ drawers of these young managers would no longer seem…

The drawers
Once being able to look out of the eyes of an infant! Once to be allowed to perceive the world in this unaffectedness. Without a previous: „This is so, this is so and so is the name for it. And the name has its reason in the qualities of what you are looking at and…

The Irmas of this world
I was once invited to a multi-day event of a herbal college, which was also dedicated to the care of the spiritual aspects of life. I had a whole day with the participants and so we also got into conversation during the breaks. We talked about various things and I got a small superficial impression…
