Break Out

Winning the freedom to develop yourself

All people have hidden talents, abilities, desires, longings and ideas which could be fulfilled. However, psychology shows us that only a small fraction of these will be realised over the course of a lifetime. What about the rest of them? Who else or what else could we be? And what determines how much of our potential we can reach? The leading researcher on learning and motivation Michaela Brohm-Badry describes how we can gain the freedom to discover and live out new ways of thinking, feeling and acting. Using the latest research and a range of field reports, she explains how it is possible for us to overcome obstacles such as pressure, thinking habits and behavioural patterns. And how autonomy, the experience of competence and vitality can allow new things to emerge – whether at work or in a relationship - through travelling, by learning a craft or mastering a new field of knowledge. • Successful combination of science, field reports and inspiration • The latest findings on potential development presented for the general public • Author is a leading researcher in motivation ‘The energy consultant’ Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung ‘One of the leading experts in the field of happiness research’ Spiegel Online
