Warum Frauengesundheit nicht mehr ignoriert werden darf. Von der Verhütung, Geburten über die Periode bis hin zur Menopause – Beschwerden, die den weiblichen Körper betreffen, werden immer noch zu wenig beachtet, oft bagatellisiert oder missverstanden. So verwundert es nicht, dass lediglich vier Prozent der gesamten Forschung im Gesundheitswesen auf das Wohl von Frauen ausgerichtet sind – mit negativen Folgen für die weibliche Gesundheit und letztlich zum Schaden für die gesamte Gesellschaft. Umso wichtiger ist es, mit den vorherrschenden Tabus zu brechen und Innovationen im Bereich Frauengesundheit zu fördern.

When it comes to improving customer experiences, trying out new business models, or developing new products, even the most experienced managers often get it wrong. They discover that intuition, experience, and big data alone don't work. What does? Running disciplined business experiments.

That's what Harvard Business School professor Stefan Thomke shows in this rigorously researched and eye-opening book.

Once we become aware of this, we start seeing them everywhere - in ads, apps, political debates, legal arguments, logos, and euphemisms, to name just a few. At their very best, analogies inspire new ways of thinking, enable invention, and motivate people to action. Unfortunately, not every analogy that rings true is true. That's why, at their worst, analogies can deceive, manipulate, or mislead us into disaster.
