The human being as a seeker and the ability to learn from mistakes and wrong turns
The power of inner images
Entanglement and development
Fear as a signpost to freedom
From relationship to encounter
The suppression of living needs and overcoming one's own neediness Unfolding potential needs playful lightness
The way out of self-incurred immaturity
Helping people help themselves
All knowledge is useless if it is not put into practice

Gerald Hüther is one of Germany's best-known brain researchers. In practice he works on neurobiological prevention research within various initiatives and projects. He writes non-fiction books, gives lectures, organises congresses, advises politicians and entrepreneurs and is a frequent guest on radio and television. He is thus both a communicator and an implementer of knowledge in one person

He studied and did research in Leipzig and Jena, and from 1979 at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen. He was a Heisenberg Fellow of the German Research Foundation and from 2004 –2016 was Professor of Neurobiology at the University of Göttingen. From 1994-2006 he headed a research department he had set up at the psychiatric clinic in Göttingen. From 2006 – 2016 he devoted himself to disseminating findings in the field of neurobiological prevention research. In 2015 he founded the Akademie für Potentialentfaltung and took over its leadership as chairman.

In his public work he is concerned with disseminating and applying findings from modern brain research. He sees himself as a “bridge-builder” between scientific knowledge and social and individual everyday practice. The aim of his activities is to create more favourable conditions for the unfolding of human potential.
