Bestselling author Morten Münster takes the stage for a talk that challenges our modern pressure to be exceptional at everything. He looks at why being ordinary can serve us better, whether the topic is health, efficiency or mental balance.
Expect an entertaining walk through what Münster calls the "department of magical thinking", where wishful thinking stands in for real effort and self-deception quietly holds us back at work and at home. The talk explores how the relentless pursuit of optimisation can leave us feeling worse rather than better, and how accepting our inner mediocrity can lead to better sleep, calmer minds and, somewhat paradoxically, a more remarkable life.
Münster is the author of several bestsellers on behaviour and is also behind Denmark's largest professional newsletter, 2 minutter, and the podcast Adfærd.
