What’s Coming This Episode?

We’re 34 episodes in to this little adventure of ours and it’s time to take stock of where we’re all up to. Do you live your life in the present? Are you ‘living in the now’? This episode is designed to focus your minds on everything that is important.

Astonishingly, Sean also uses todays episode to admit that he doesn’t have all of the answers to life and that, occasionally, he might be wrong about things. Incredible!

Enjoy the show!

What’s Coming This Episode?

When do we stop being children and become ‘adults’? When we turn 13? After leaving school or home? How about when we stop learning in general? We often look at young children as beings that need to be taught, but another reality is focusing on what they can teach us.

As we grow older we learn prejudice, fear and anxiety. Once you realise that this has been learned then you’re free to make the change and release your inner child.

Enjoy the show!

Show Notes and Links

• Details about Sean’s Detox can be found here
• Sean donated some money to Marie Curie, a wonderful charity
• Ed mentions a book ‘One Mole Digging a Hole‘ that he read to his son. What do bees wear? Sunglasses!
• Watch Sir Ken Robinson talk about creativity in schools
• Anatomy of Disgust (not fear, as Ed said!) is a fascinating experiment with kids

What’s Coming This Episode?

Christmas is here and so Sean and Ed are here to discuss why we celebrate this strange but wonderful time of year. In a universal sense, Christmas is about the end of darkness and the beginning of light (think about it). Advent calendars, chocolate, turkey and decorated trees = what’s it all about?

Enjoy the show!

Show Notes and Links

• A brief history of Boxing Day
• Here’s the ‘official’ version of why we celebrate Christmas
• Since we recorded this episode Rie posted a great blog article for those who may be lonely at Christmas
• Check out your nearest Vipassana meditation centre if you need some solitude
• Sean is gearing up for his January detox
• Here’s how to make an Affogato

Movie of the Week (!)

• Sean loves The Holiday with Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz. Oh, and there’s Miracle on 34th Street of course
• Ed DEMANDS that you watch It’s A Wonderful Life first and foremost, then there’s Home Alone and Elf…

What’s Coming This Episode?

Nelson Mandela recently passed away and he’s left quite a legacy. His rise to prominence and his journey from angry young to forgiving, empathetic elder statesman was truly remarkable. What was Mandela’s legacy? For some it may be negative, for the vast majority, it’s incredibly positive.

Here’s the thing: we’ll all make mistakes but we are all given the choice to make better choices today and tomorrow. If you do that consecutively for years on end you’ll have lived quite a life.

Ed makes a couple of semi-heartfelt apologies whilst this week it’s Sean’s turn to feel a little sleep deprived.

Enjoy the show!

What’s Coming This Episode?

What is work and why do we do it? We’ll spend perhaps a third of our lives at work so we need to be very careful that we’re doing work that we find rewarding. Our work, in many cases, defines who we are. When a person asks ‘and what do you do?’, how do you answer?

Sean and Ed discuss status, their relationship with money and many other things besides. Do you dread those Monday mornings? Then it’s time to change.

In other news, Sean has been to London town and Ed’s cholesterol is down. Praise be!

Enjoy the show!

• Follow Ed on Lift and pester him to meditate each day!
  
• Check out Nikki from Pink Spaghetti 🙂
• That scene from Fight Club
• Top 5 Regrets of the Dying
• A good place for advice if you’re in financial difficulty

Resource of the Week
