Das bringt Ihnen dieses Buch: Sie unterstützen zertifizierte Klimaschutz-Projekte, erhalten schnell kompakte Informationen und Checklisten von Experten (Übersicht und Pressestimmen in der Buchvorschau) sowie in der Praxis erprobte Ratschläge, die auch dank AddOn Schritt für Schritt zum Erfolg führen. Denn für jeden Menschen ist Wertschätzung wichtig und so ist es nicht erstaunlich, dass ehrliche Dankbarkeit wahre Wunder wirkt: Wer sich von anderen entsprechend wertgeschätzt fühlt, wird automatisch offener und zugänglicher für dessen Wünsche. Der Grund dafür ist unser Gehirn, das aufgrund von Zuspruch das Belohnungszentrum aktiviert und gleichzeitig das Angstzentrum hemmt. Ehrliche Dankbarkeit wirkt sich also unmittelbar positiv auf die Kreativität, Motivation und Beziehungsfähigkeit eines anderen Menschen aus. Aber Dankbarkeit und Lob sind keine Einbahnstraße und schon gar keine Manipulationstechniken, die man beliebig an- und ausschalten kann: Nur wenn der Dank auch wirklich ernst gemeint ist, wirkt er nachhaltig. Dabei gilt die alte Regel: Wer andere Menschen stärkt, ermutigt und motiviert kommt am Ende seinen Zielen einen großen Schritt näher, schließlich erhält er, was er gibt, hundertfach zurück. Unsere Ratgeber richten sich vor allem an Einsteiger. Leser, die vertiefende Informationen suchen, können diese umsonst als AddOn mit individuellen Inhalten nach Wunsch erhalten.
