Peter Schmidt

Work: it is loved, hated, often poorly paid – and for many an elixir of life. What is behind the concept of work and what role does it play in life? Work is a highly emotional topic that accompanies people for almost their entire lives and affects society as a whole. The approaches to making work meaningful and sustainable for everyone are diverse and often polarizing. Peter Schmidt sheds light on different perspectives and also addresses the fact that work can play a major role in a person’s self-determination and ultimately their happiness in life.

Peter Schmidt, born in 1949, studied business administration and worked for many years in industry in a wide variety of management roles. As part of his profession, he is fascinated by the fields of history, science, social and economic policy.
