Thomas Druyen Biography

Thomas Druyen is one of the most popular and richest Sociologist who was born on July 2, 1957 in Süchteln, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Thomas Druyen (born July 2 1957 in Suchteln in the city of Suchteln, which is today Viersen) is a German sociologist and director of two institutes at Sigmund Freud Private University in Vienna. Alongside his role as a lecturer and writer particularly on current and philosophical issues Druyen’s research focuses on the neuro-psychological and mental conditions as well as related phenomena of shaping tomorrow, the digital age, and the changing demographics. Druyen also studies the psychology and lifestyle of the rich. He is among the top researchers in the study of wealth Druyen’s work is often featured in numerous audiovisual and print media.

Druyen combats the typically negative image of old age with a positive picture. It is vital to recognize the possibilities of older age and take advantage of the opportunities it offers for everyone. He suggests a review of how we view age in society and, in addition uncovers how the self-perceptions of many older individuals is fundamentally in conflict with the social anxieties of the aging process. The 2003 publication “Olympus of life – the new picture of the age” was a major contributor to several public debates. He created the foundation for his subsequent study of the cultural aspects of wealth by further advancing the basic concepts from research into demographics, and thus gaining a global social dimension.

Druyen’s research on individual capacity for change and willingness to change is based on his research on demographic change, but here he takes a more socio-psychological perspective. In this sense, he sees demographic change as a prime example of the fact that the majority of people repress existing impulses, despite better knowledge, instead of dealing with them and make them active. Druyen reveals this “preventive incompetence” in his 2015 generation study, in which people from three different generations were questioned about their respective visions of the future. In his opinion, this is a reoccurring theme throughout the whole of human history. The results of the study laid the foundation for the field of future psychology.

In September 2016 he married Konstanze Bruhns. Druyen lives in Düsseldorf.

Between 2000 and 2004 Druyen chaired from 2000 to 2004 at the Swiss Peter Ustinov Foundation. From 2001 to 2014 Druyen was the president of the board of trustees at the “Dialog der Generationen” foundation located in Dusseldorf which was established in 1999, and later disbanded. Between 2003 and 2007, Druyen worked for LGT Privatbank in Liechtenstein and was the editor in chief of the magazine for customers “Credo”. In addition, he served as chair of the trustees’ board for Kloster Steinfeld’s foundation from 2004 to 2009. Kloster Steinfeld from 2004 to the year 2009. In 2007 Druyen is a Full Professor in the chair of the Comparative Culture of Wealth as well as Wealth Psychology and, since 2009, director of both the Institute of Wealthibility and Wealth Psychology as well as the Institute for Future Psychology and Future Management, both at the Sigmund Freud Private University in Vienna.

In his cultural and psychological studies, Druyen examines, among other things, the influence of private financial wealth on society and the impact of large material wealth on the human psyche. To this end, Druyen conducted interviews with wealthy and super rich people worldwide (starting at about 30 million US dollars in net financial assets to several billion US dollars of free capital) and published numerous books and studies. In his much-acclaimed 2007 book, “Goldkinder – Die Welt des Vermögens”, Druyen makes a distinction between wealth on the one hand and fortune on the other, and shapes the notion of wealth culture, While the concept of “The Rich” encompasses all those quantitative variables that are measurable in any way, the concept of wealth also includes its qualitative use and its individual requirements. By “wealth culture” Druyen understands the promotion and maintenance of material and immaterial values for the protection of the individual and social viability. His wealth research thus focuses on the group of people who, in addition to self-chosen parts of their wealth, also use their abilities, their know-how and their sense of responsibility to help shape social development. In addition to the social prerequisites and consequences of such an understanding of the culture of wealth, Druyen also examines the psychic interactions between extraordinary material wealth and the attitudes and ways of life arising from it. Among other things, he noted that wealthy people are not necessarily happier, but are usually one step closer to the future than the average person.
