Vera Felicitas Birkenbihl (26 April 1946 - 3 December 2011) was a German facilitator, non-fiction writer, and esoteric.
In seminars and publications she addressed the topics of brain-friendly learning and teaching, analytical and creative thinking, personality development, numerology,[8] pragmatic esotericism,[9] brain-specific sex differences and future-proof concepts.
[10] Birkenbihl founded a publishing company and 1973 the Institut für gehirngerechtes Arbeiten ('Institute for Brain-Friendly Work').
[14] Furthermore, she wrote regularly for media such as the German newspapers Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,[15] Harvard Business Manager (a German licensed edition of the Harvard Business Review),[16] or Gehirn & Geist [de], a monthly magazine on the topics of psychology, brain research and medicine.
She also emphasised the importance of the feeling for the language, which is acquired through the repetitive listening to conversations of native speakers.
')[21] Birkenbihl interpreted quantum physical findings from the point of view of a layperson and used them to "justify" (in her own opinion) the existence of paranormal phenomena.
She reported pm her personal experience and how this ability could help her find, for example, the "perfect potato pancake in Kansas City" without being familiar with the area.
