The insights of the psychiatrist Dr. Nossrat Peseschkian and the expert for time management Prof. Dr. Lothar Seiwert are crucial for setting priorities in one's own life.
According to them, the key to a fulfilled life and professional success consists in the right balance between the four following aspects of life, which should be considered individually in life planning and also consistently “lived”:
Family and social contacts
In addition to family or a partnership, true friends are also included here. Recognition and appreciation of one's own person is preferably given by fellow human beings, but not based on material possessions, as modern advertising tries to suggest.
Job and performance
This area is usually overemphasized in Western countries. Rather, values such as career, property and professional success should be balanced in a work-life balance.
Health
Nothing is worth without health. However, health is not a purchasable product of modern medicine, it must be consciously “earned” through a high-quality diet, adequate recovery and relaxation, as well as active fitness programs.
Meaning and values
They determine our actions. Unfortunately, questions about the true meaning of life have been replaced by a materialistic focus on values in recent decades. However, issues such as “self-fulfillment” and “questions about the future” are now moving back to the center of our thinking.
