Karriere: „Es ist in Ordnung, kein Karriereziel zu haben“

Successful people do not necessarily follow a preset scientific recipe, says the author of a book on success. No single formula guarantees success, which would make books like hers unnecessary. However, research in neuroscience reveals how to learn effectively, potentially boosting chances of success. The process involves experimenting and understanding the brain's learning mechanism, known as the "perception-action cycle": the brain first perceives information from the environment, then forms a prediction based on that information.

The prediction may be correct, leading to valuable learning from the outcome, or incorrect, but still beneficial as the brain learns from the result regardless of whether it was right or wrong. This continuous learning process helps individuals grow, even when the path forward is unclear.
