Nachdem sich die moderne Hirnforschung in den letzten zwanzig Jahren rasant entwickelte, hat auch das Interesse an ihren Resultaten zugenommen. Was will der Mensch? Entscheidet er selbst? Oder ist er nur das Opfer chemischer und neuronaler Affekte? Das sind spannende Fragen, besonders für Werbung und Kommunikation. Wie nimmt der Mensch wahr? Und vor allem: Was nimmt er auf? Werner T. Fuchs beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit der Umsetzung moderner Hirnforschung ins Marketing. Seine These - inzwischen von der Hirnforschung untermauert - lautet: Der Mensch lernt durch Geschichten. Wer diese Erkenntnis in die Praxis einfließen lässt, wird sein Gegenüber besser erreichen. Fuchs hat zwölf leicht zu verstehende, unterhaltsame "Werkzeuge" kreiert, die helfen, Kommunikation grundsätzlich neu zu verstehen und auf die Arbeitsweise des Gehirns abzustimmen.

Er schreibt u.a. für Spiegel Online und Stern.

Hochmut, Habgier, Trägheit, Völlerei, Wollust, Neid und Zorn - die sieben Todsünden sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil des christlichen Glaubenssystems und tatsächlich betrachten auch die meisten Atheisten diese Eigenschaften zumindest als Laster oder Charakterschwäche.
