Life of a vessel

I had a discussion with my friend Mel about the book 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' and life in general during the pandemic.

In this episode, I talk about things we can do during the coronavirus isolation period. I also talk about when we can expect the restrictions to be lifted.

I had a quick chat with Bradman Z about how we feel about the current restrictions imposed by the government due to Coronavirus. As of the time of the podcast (14th Apr 2020), there have been 61 deaths in Australia and 6,400 confirmed cases.

This is the second part of the learning techniques series. In this short episode, I talked about the importance of knowing the constraints or parameters you have when you decide to go to university.

This is the first episode of the learning techniques series that I will be doing in the next few weeks. I recommend this to university students, even high school students and any student for that matter. You will have better results and greater fulfilment if you know the 'why' behind what you're doing. It is more important to have meaning than just doing 'the thing.' 

In this episode, I sat with brothers Samuel and Abraham to talk about their concept of what a good life is. Towards the end, we realised that we've been asking the wrong question and came up with a better question that is more meaningful.

Samuel is in his third year of nursing degree and Abraham has just finished Bible School.

I sat with Abraham P on New Year's Day and discussed about creation of evil, Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the desire to be more than God, morality, climate change, bush fires and the continuing journey of navigating life. Abraham recently completed (2019) a year of study of Planetshakers Bible College.

In this episode, I sat down with Rhett, a business owner based in Melbourne, who did his own independent research about nutrition and ketogenic diet after his brain diagnosis. This was recorded at a hotel cafe so apologies for the background noise.

I sat with Brad, a year 7 (13 years old) student from Melbourne , Australia and discussed about various topics including happiness, success, climate change, Greta Thunberg, meaning of life, social media, making friends, siblings, setting goals and New Year's resolution. It was interesting getting the perspective of a school kid about different issues.

In this first episode, we discussed about success, happiness, meaning of life, existentialism, principle of exhaustion, making friends, studying overseas on exchange, ending friendships and the question 'why are you here?'
