Through the true story of an amateur cycling team that conquered one of the world’s toughest races, the authors show how deep trust, shared goals, and mutual respect can spark surprising transformation. Gerald Hüther supported the team building process and provides scientific background on enabling high performance in the book.

Many people never reach their full potential—not because they lack talent, but because they work in isolating, overly competitive environments.

Dream Team explores how deeply human development depends on the quality of our relationships, and how we can leverage neuroscience to increase (team) performance.

Success in life isn't just about what you know or how hard you work. It’s also about how you connect, cooperate, and grow with others.

Whether in a job, a school, or a sports team: feeling safe, seen, and supported can unlock creativity, confidence, and purpose.

This book shows us why building trust and emotional connection isn’t just “nice”—it’s necessary for our development.

Instead of pushing ever harder on our own, we thrive when we manage to build safe environments for honest communication and collaborative spirit together. Very inspiring for team leaders and team members, if you’re willing to embrace this level of vulnerability.

Teams that focus on connection instead of control help people grow in unexpected ways. The result: more innovation, more resilience, and deeper fulfillment. You don’t just get better at what you do—you become someone who lifts up others, too. That’s how the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

I'd give Dream Team a solid 8 out of 10 for self-coaching potential. It’s not a step-by-step manual, but it’s packed with transformative insights—especially around trust, shared purpose, and personal growth within teams. The blend of neuroscience, lived experience, and emotional storytelling makes it accessible and motivating, even if you're flying solo. Unfortunately, it’s not available in English (yet).

'False heroes have no fear, because they lack imagination. They are foolish and have no nerve. True heroes do feel fear- and they overcome it.'

Translated from Erich Kästner’s autobiography, 'Als ich ein kleiner Junge war' (When I was a little boy)

Ode to Silence

I sit beside myself, not to escape the world— but to return to it with grace. Silence is my shield, not my retreat. You spoke sharp, I answered with stillness. I chose me.

Acceptance doesn’t equal approval.

It means recognizing a situation or truth as it is—without trying to deny, fight, or change it.

You can accept that a relationship has changed, that a challenge exists, or that the past happened… without saying it’s okay or that you’re happy about it.

Acceptance is about creating mental peace by giving up resistance against reality.

It is not a stamp of approval. It’s a starting point, not an endorsement.

This is your sign to call that old friend from back in the day.

The one you were thinking of the other day.

It might just be what both of you need!

There never was, and there never will be, a better time to do it than now.

Remember:

A walk outside calms your nervous system.

It doesn’t have to be long. The weather doesn’t need to be great.

You don’t need to put on gym clothes for it to work. You don’t need to overthink it.

Just put on your shoes and go. Once around the block can be enough to get you out of a rut.

Happy walking!

When people change their behavior just because they know they’re being watched - in psychology, this is called the Hawthorne effect.
This idea comes from studies in the 1920s and ’30s at the Western Electric Hawthorne Works factory in Chicago. Psychologist George Elton Mayo wanted to see how changes in lighting affected worker productivity. But they noticed something strange: productivity improved no matter what they changed—even when they made things worse! Turns out, the workers were simply responding to the attention they were getting.
The Hawthorne effect reminds us that being observed can influence how we act, especially in research, workplaces, or classrooms. It’s a big reason why scientists try to design studies where participants don’t know they’re being watched—so the results reflect real behavior, not just performance under pressure.
Remember: psychological effects happen to everybody. They are a part of human processing. Notice them, and remind yourself that observation can create change...

We tend to remember the first and last things best—and the middle stuff? Not so much.
Think about sitting through a long presentation. You probably recall how it started and ended, but the middle parts blur together. It’s like your brain takes extra notes at the beginning and end, then zones out halfway.
In psychology, this is called the primacy-recency effect. It was first observed in the late 19th century by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, and later reproduced in many laboratory studies.
Why does this happen? Researchers assume that the first things (primacy) have more time to be integrated into the long-term memory, while the last things (recency) are still fresh in your short-term memory.
Smart tip? If you’re trying to teach, pitch, or persuade, start strong, end strong, and break info into small chunks to avoid that forgettable middle.
And remember: psychological effects happen to everybody. They are a part of human processing. Notice them, and remind yourself that it’s always first, last, and nothing in between...

When it seems that everyone is paying close attention to you—what you’re wearing, saying, doing, or how you look, it can feel awkward. In reality? Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to notice.
Imagine you trip on the stairs and feel super embarrassed, convinced the whole room saw it. Truth is, many didn’t even notice—or forgot about it seconds later.
Psychologists in the late 1990s showed that people consistently overestimate how memorable or noticeable their actions are. They called this phenomenon the spotlight effect.
Knowing about the spotlight effect is freeing—it means you can relax a bit and stop worrying so much about what others think. Chances are, they’re worried about themselves, not you.
And remember: psychological effects happen to everybody. They are a part of human processing. Notice them, and remind yourself that most likely, you’re actually NOT in the spotlight...
