人を起業に向かわせやすくする特性の一部は、同時にメンタルヘルスの不調を招きやすいものでもある。それがパラドックスだ。 研究によれば、両者の重なりはかなり大きい可能性がある。起業家242人を対象にした研究では、49%が生涯に少なくとも1つのメンタルヘルス上の問題を経験したと報告した。ADHDは29%が報告し、比較群の5%を上回った。双極性障害は11%で、比較群は1%だった。うつ病は30%が報告し、比較群は15%だった。 特定のメンタルヘルス上の特性は、人が起業家としてのキャリアを求め、そこで成功する可能性を高めることがある。それらは並外れたエネルギー、粘り強さ、リスクを取る姿勢、そして流れに逆らって泳ぐ意志を生み出し得る。しかし、一定のキャリア目標を達成した後には、同じ特性が裏目に出始めることもある。 この現象は、自己選択メカニズムとして捉えることもできる。つまり、特定の特性が、強度、新奇性、容赦ない追求を評価するキャリアへと人を自然に引き寄せるということだ。だが、その追求は痛みから生じているのか。もしそうなら、成功は適切な治療薬なのだろうか。...

私はハイエンドなメンタルヘルスと依存症治療の分野で10年以上働いてきた。スイスでKusnacht Practiceを共同設立し、その後Paracelsus Recoveryを創設した当初、超富裕層、トップエグゼクティブ、創業者だけを対象とする治療モデルは、ニッチで不要とさえ見なされていると感じていた。 それ以降、この分野は成長を遂げた。守秘性と5つ星の快適さを謳う新たな施設が、毎年世界中で開設されるのを目にしてきた。私にとってこれは、重要な医療ニーズをようやく認識し始めたという兆しだ。超富裕層、トップエグゼクティブ、創業者が依存症、未治療の鬱、その他のメンタルヘルスの問題を抱えている場合、その影響は波紋のように広がり、何千マイルも離れた家族、従業員、顧客にまで及びかねない。 すべての人間が高水準のケアを受けるに値する。しかし、依存症治療は地域によって規制にばらつきがある。例えば、米国におけるメンタルヘルスおよび物質使用障害の入所治療について言えば、「治療環境は連邦法ではなく、ほぼ州法および州規則によってのみ規律されている」。...

Warum die Linke so tut, als wäre Gaza ein Vorort von Marzahn
Bockwurst-Linke und Bionade-Milieus: Die Wähler der Linken kommen aus völlig unterschiedlichen Gruppen. Doch der Antizionismus verbindet sie – und er wird noch zunehmen, sagt Historiker Jan Gerber voraus. Es war zu erwarten. Ernsthafte Konsequenzen wird es innerhalb der Linken nicht geben. Die Partei reagierte so, wie auch die politische Konkurrenz gewöhnlich in solchen Fällen reagiert: Sie individualisierte das Problem.
Linker Antisemitismus: Warum die Linke so tut, als wäre Gaza ein Vorort von Marzahn
Es war zu erwarten. Ernsthafte Konsequenzen wird es innerhalb der Linken nicht geben. Die Partei reagierte so, wie auch die politische Konkurrenz gewöhnlich in solchen Fällen reagiert: Sie individualisierte das Problem. „Funktionäre und einzelne Aktivisten“ seien zu weit gegangen, erklärten die Bundesvorsitzenden Ines Schwerdtner und Luigi Pantisano schon kurz nach der Neuköllner Wahlparty der Linken.

When The Traits That Drive Success Start Working Against You
Jan Gerber is Founder & CEO of Paracelsus Recovery, a leading mental health clinic for entrepreneurs, leaders & UHNW clientele. Some of the traits that make people more prone to entrepreneurship can also make them more prone to mental health struggles. That is the paradox. Research suggests the overlap may be substantial. In a study of 242 entrepreneurs, 49% reported at least one lifetime mental health condition.
DA wants parties to name their PR councillors upfront. The court has questions
The DA challenged four parties in the Electoral Court for submitting PR candidate lists with only one name for the local government elections. The DA claimed this strategy hid candidates from voters, violating transparency and the law. Judges noted that voters in a PR system voted for parties, not candidates, complicating the DA’s argument.

A More Honest Conversation About Mental Health And Addiction Treatment For The Ultra-Wealthy
Jan Gerber is Founder & CEO of Paracelsus Recovery, a leading mental health clinic for entrepreneurs, leaders & UHNW clientele. I’ve worked in high-end mental health and addiction treatment for more than a decade. When I co-founded the Kusnacht Practice in Switzerland and later founded Paracelsus Recovery, my impression was that many considered a treatment model built exclusively around ultra-high-net-worth individuals, top executives and founders to be niche, even unnecessary.

Succession And The Family Business: Understanding The Dynamics Behind Ownership Transitions
Jan Gerber is Founder & CEO of Paracelsus Recovery, a leading mental health clinic for entrepreneurs, leaders & UHNW clientele. For years, I have seen firsthand in my work how extreme wealth and power can shape a family’s entire mode of connecting. While wealth and power may provide a buffer from some of life’s difficulties, they can also create an impenetrable wall of privacy that keeps families isolated and disengaged.

「長寿（ロンジェビティ）」は現在、バズワードであり、トレンドでもある。多くの人がその意味を理解していると考え、追求する価値があると感じている。それ自体は何の問題もない。健康に気を配り、病気を予防することは、ポジティブな目標だ。 だが、そこには転換点が存在する。 現在、私たちの寿命を延ばすことを約束する消費者向けテクノロジー、診断、治療法、サプリメント、介入策が爆発的に増加している。潤沢な資産を持つ人々にとって、長寿は最後に残された希少資源となった。「お金では時間は買えない」と昔から言われてきた。結局のところ、ここで語っているのは寿命であり、それゆえに追い求めたいという誘惑はほとんど抗いがたいものになる。 問題が生じるのは、長寿の追求が人生を支えることをやめ、逆に人生を妨げ始めるときだ。私はこの新たなパターンを「長寿執着症候群（longevity fixation syndrome）」と呼んでいる。 長寿はコントロール感をもたらす...
How Epiphytic Are Epiphytes? Field Evidence for Flexible Substrate Use in Tropical Cloud Forest Plants
1 Introduction Vascular epiphytes contribute about 10% to the global vascular plant species richness (Zotz et al. 2021) and up to 50% in some tropical cloud forests (Kelly et al. 2004). Due to the varying light and moisture conditions in the forest canopy, specific adaptations are associated with epiphytic growth; for instance, velamen radicum (sponge-like root tissue), atmospheric water uptake, CAM photosynthesis and a specialised root microbiome (Zotz 2016).

現代を象徴するバズワードがあるとすれば、それは「ロンジェビティ（長期にわたる活躍）」だろう。役員会議ではこの話題が絶えず、多くの現代のエグゼクティブにとって、葉巻とウイスキーの時代はとうに過ぎ去った。彼らはリカバリー（回復）を重要業績評価指標（KPI）のように追跡し、身体をピークパフォーマンスに向けて設計されるもうひとつのシステムとして扱う。しかし、その中で本質的な役割を果たすある一つのこと、すなわち「つながり」については、ほとんど語られない。 成人期の人生に関する史上最長の追跡研究の一つであるハーバード成人発達研究は、親密な人間関係こそが、コレステロールやIQではなく、80歳時点の健康と幸福を最もよく予測する要因であることを明らかにした。一方、孤独は喫煙に匹敵する死亡リスクを伴う。そして、企業を率いることほど効率的に孤独を生み出すキャリアは、ほとんどないと私は考えている。...
