Nena Brockhaus & Franca Lehfeldt: "Old WISE Men." - A tribute to an endangered species.

Nena Brockhaus & Franca Lehfeldt publish their first book together. Virtues such as the will to perform, sacrifice and discipline seem to be on the retreat. The personification of these values has been hit hard: the old wise man. While he struggles to find his place in society, the country's prosperity and cohesion are on the line. Is this a coincidence? Or is it the result of a society that has lost sight of the essentials and is bogged down in identity debates? Whether in a beer garden with former chancellor candidate Edmund Stoiber, in Ascona with top manager Wolfgang Reitzle or at home with world star Mario Adorf - journalists Franca Lehfeldt and Nena Brockhaus set out to find the answers of wise old men to the pressing questions of the present. And they listen attentively. And they talk about them in their exciting lectures.

Nena Brockhaus Lecture topics

Old WISE MEN - what we can learn from them

While the last few years have been filled to the brim, the tools for self-responsible coping with change and crisis have been lost from view. It has been replaced by the cultivation of individual sensitivities, which, multiplied to the societal level, could ensure that Germany once again becomes the "sick man of Europe.

- Attitude of entitlement 1: The state will take care of everything
- Demanding attitude 2: Bachelor's and master's degrees for all!
- Demanding attitude 3: Demanding and prioritizing a life-work balance

In order to overcome the crises of our time, we urgently need a return to old values and virtues. The knowledge is there, and the transmission of values is still possible. In this exciting lecture, Nena Brockhaus takes you into the world of values of the generation of the 1940s and 1950s. What do Heiner Lauterbach, Mario Adorf, Thomas Strüngmann, Wolfgang Reitzle, Stefan Aust, Edmund Stoiber, among others, advise in order to cope with the crises of our time?

Politics, Economy & Society: The state of the nation

Finance, Corona, Energy - these three terms are only a part of the current pairing options of the term crisis. Although the restructuring of Germany's energy supply is one of the most complex tasks of the post-war period, the term crisis is now used in an inflationary and hasty manner. The media and experts regularly use the age of crises to define the present. In doing so, they create almost apocalyptic dead-end scenarios. The tenor: nothing will ever be as glorious and carefree as it once was. The individual is also increasingly confronted with crises. Whether marriage, midlife or job crisis, the homo sapiens of the 21st century likes to deal with himself and his microcosmic problems in detail. In the process, one can almost see a split: one part of the younger generation is struggling for social advancement, or to maintain the standard of living of their own parents. While another part of the age group strolls in academic milieus or dreams of an unconditional basic income. To put it polemically: some pay taxes, create wealth and install the photovoltaic system on the roof, while others shape the debates on Twitter.

Work-life balance is the life lie of our time

While four-day weeks and work-life balance are debated, Nena Brockhaus is certain: work-life balance is the life lie of our time. People cannot demand that society take responsibility for their own lives from birth to death. Once upon a time, the focus was on social advancement. The exceptional banker Alfred Herrhausen, got the advice from his father: "As I assess you, you are at least of average intelligence, and if you work one hour more every day than the others, then it should work out." Nowadays, on the other hand, it's too often true that those who work are often the ones who lose out. Trying hard is reactionary. The extra meter, the overtime or working on Sundays and holidays are too often considered as hardly reasonable hardship. A society geared to redistribution by the state reacts with indignation, incomprehension and scolding toward those who demand more work and increased performance.

Generation Y and Generation Z: a life for the limelight

A young woman paints her fingernails. The color: deep red. Then she puts the dishwasher away. So far, so unspectacular. But the girl, let's call her Sarah, documents all this with her camera. She wants to be observed by strangers. Sounds strange, but it's true. At least on Instagram. Here, the banalities of everyday life become the stage for the satisfaction of one's own craving for recognition. Never before has it been so easy to stage oneself. 71 percent of Instagram users worldwide are younger than 35. Their usage behavior on Instagram reveals what makes Generation Y and Generation Z tick.
