Discussing Johann Hari’s book that explores the war on drugs, addiction, and much more. I go in to whether drugs be legalised and regulated. And discuss the poll on Instagram whether drugs are wholly bad. 

This book prompted some very deep thinking.

A review of Rutger Bregman's 'Utopia For Realists'. Almost every key step forward for civilisation - from the end of slavery to machine's playing chess better than people - was once considered a utopian dream. But Rutger Bregman argues that there are better things on the horizon for the world and they're not just a fantasy.

In this Milestone 60th Episode, I talk about Awareness by Anthony De Mello. Probably the most hardcore spiritual book I've ever read. Definitely, a book for those that are questioning what it is they could/should be doing with their lives. Not in a sense of guidance in careers, but pretty much every other aspect of life. Love, attachment, selfishness, spirituality, charity, righteousness and so much more! You'll also find out what I think about everyone in the world.
