English summary: Taking pleasure in one's own thoughts and experiencing joy at common activities are the major themes of this volume. The biologist Gerald Huther makes it clear that every living system can only develop to its greatest possible potential by participating in a coevolutionary process together with other forms of life. Put more succinctly: Together we can do more than we can alone, and together we can regain what makes us living creatures: creativity, the courage to be ourselves, and the ability to find a personal answer to the question of the meaning of life. Gerald Huther infuses the concept of the personal development of potential in individualized societies with new and exciting highlights. This capability does not arise from the demands made on us by our economic system, nor is it based on ethical considerations and moral imperatives. It is much simpler: It lies in our very nature as humans. German description: Nur wir Menschen sind in der Lage, unsere Lebenswelt immer besser nach unseren eigenen Vorstellungen zu gestalten. Indem wir uns aber immer perfekter an die so gestaltete Lebenswelt anpassen, verlieren wir allzu leicht auch unsere Fahigkeit, immer wieder nach neuen Wegen zu suchen und dabei aus den eigenen Fehlern zu lernen. Doch: Wir sind frei, wir haben die Wahl. Wir konnen diese selbstverstandlich gewordenen Vorstellungen hinterfragen, wir konnen sie loslassen und uns entscheiden, unser Leben und unser Zusammenleben anders zu gestalten. Denn der Mensch ist ein soziales Wesen. Und fur die Entfaltung der in uns angelegten Potentiale brauchen wir die Begegnung und den Austausch mit anderen. Die Freude am eigenen Denken und die Lust am gemeinsamen Gestalten sind die grossen Themen dieses Buches. Der Biologe Huther macht deutlich: Jedes lebende System kann das in ihm angelegte Potential am besten in einem koevolutiven Prozess mit anderen Lebensformen zur Entfaltung bringen. Oder einfacher: Gemeinsam kommen wir weiter als allein. Und finden zuruck zu dem Lebendigen, das uns ausmacht: zu neuer Kreativitat, zum Mut zu sich selbst und zu personlichen Antworten auf die Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens. Wir verfugen uber Talente und Begabungen und ein zeitlebens lernfahiges Gehirn, das fur die Losung von Problemen optimiert ist. Wir konnen Erfahrungen anderer ubernehmen und uber Generationen weitergeben. Doch alte, gebahnte Denkmuster verhindern, was fur das Entstehen von Potentialentfaltungsgemeinschaften erforderlich ist: Vertrauen, Austausch, Begegnung. Wenn wir erkennen, dass unser Gehirn sein Potential in Netzwerken mit anderen entfalten kann, dass wir in all unserer Verschiedenheit zusammengehoren, voneinander abhangig und miteinander verbunden sind, dann offnet sich auch der Weg in eine hoffnungsvolle Zukunft, denn: Gemeinsam verfugen wir uber deutlich mehr Hirn als allein!
