Das Weltklasse Gehirn erz hlt die Geschichte von Top-Performer und bietet eine leicht zu lesende Einf hrung in die Forschung, die zeigt, dass ihre Gehirnfunktion anders ist. Dieses kurze Buch beschreibt auch andere Merkmale, die diese Top-Performer gemeinsam haben, wie z. B. intensiv gl ckliche und erf llende Gipfelerlebnisse und ein gr eres moralisches Empfinden. Die Leser erfahren au erdem, wie auch sie m helos eine bessere Gehirnintegration entwickeln k nnen.

This book tells the story of world-class performers and offers an easy-to-read introduction to research showing that their brain function is different from the brains of average performers. No surprise there. But what is surprising is that regardless of whether these top performers are athletes, musicians, or CEOs, their brains share one feature that makes them stand out: more integrated functioning. Their brains work in a more coherent, relaxed, wakeful, and efficient way. Other features these top performers have in common include intensely happy and fulfilling peak experiences and a greater moral sense. Readers also learn how they, too, can effortlessly develop greater brain integration. About the authors: Dr. Harald S. Harung is an interdisciplinary peak performance researcher at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. For many years he taught “Leadership, ethics, and world-class performance” to classes of up to 500 students. Harald holds a Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, and has worked as a researcher at Oxford University, naval officer, CEO of an engineering company, and president of an international business college. Dr. Frederick Travis has been Director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness, and Cognition at Maharishi International University in the US since 1990. His work has focused on brain development from birth to adulthood, higher states of consciousness, and the effects of meditation experiences on the brain. Fred and Harald were the first researchers in the world to find a brain basis of high performance.

Everyone seeks to attain excellence and happiness in their lives, yet world-class performance is rare. Research shows that education accounts for only 1 per cent of performance levels, work experience only 3 per cent, and age in adults 0 per cent. Dr Harald S. Harung and Dr Frederick Travis looked deeply and unearthed the secret of world-class performance: Excellence in any profession or activity depends on the single variable of high mind-brain development. By mind-brain development, the authors refer to a much more comprehensive transformation than what is commonly understood - they are talking about a sequence of fundamental shifts to new realities in the way our brain functions and in the way we look upon ourselves, others, and the world. For success, who we are is far more important than the knowledge, skills, and relationships we have and what we do - because with higher mind-brain development, our knowledge and skills become more useful, our relationships more enriching, and our actions more effective. As part of presenting the secrets of world-class performance, the book details the inspiring peak experiences that underlie top performance and how top performers have a more orderly, restfully alert, and economic brain than average performers. This research-based book will show you the many benefits of higher mind-brain development and how to effortlessly attain it.
