In his talk, he went into detail about these three selected theses and took the audience in a concrete way into a world of thought that may not be entirely new, but is nevertheless very tempting and even worth striving for. Learning to appreciate old values anew, being aware of the special, surprising things in daily life and giving something in return, which may also cost some effort or overcoming — that simply feels good and right according to his explanations.

How to approach an office romance (and how not to)
We are always inspired by his ideas — we hope you as well. Have fun reading! We need a new romantic movement! Just as the Romantics in the 18th century — Novalis, William Blake or Lord Byron — rebelled against the exclusive claim of reason and empirical truth, we should now rebel against the de-mystification of the world through economization and now increasingly also the datafication and quantification of our identities and relationships, far beyond the workplace.

We need more romance in our lives again, and business is the perfect stage and the most effective vehicle for that. For the business romantic, this means putting on romantic glasses, literally.

Set up a kind of secret society that allows you and your colleagues to challenge existing practices and de a kind of counter-reality to your company that, among other things, simulates competitive thinking and gives dissenters a forum for radical ideas. Celebrate the end of projects, but also mourn them and give yourself and your colleagues some time before moving on to the next one.

Finally, end the day with an intimate candlelight dinner with your team or colleagues from other departments — as well as strangers from the outside — and talk about work issues as well as issues that concern all of you, even outside of work. Ask yourself every day: if I were only here for six months, what would be my biggest legacy to the organization? Start working on that right away.
