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

Neurowissenschaftlerin und Autorin eines Büchs über Erfolg: There is no scientific recipe for success. No one would know, copy, and apply it if there was. So no, there isn't a magic formula. But neuroscience shows us the best way to learn, which can boost chances of success. How does it work? Through experimentation. The way the brain learns is based on something scientists call the "perceptual-action cycle": The brain first perceives information from the environment.

Based on this, it makes a prediction. The prediction can be right – which is great, because learning can be derived from the result – or wrong, but that is also great. The brain learns from the result, regardless of the outcome. We grow, even when the path forward is often unclear.
