The Values Workshop

A first for me in many ways. I chat with a pair of twins and struggle to  probe questions which will help us have exposure to differing views.  However, the fact that they look similar does not mean they react  similarly to things. The love and the bonding is evident too and makes  for a wonderful experience. The world would be a better place, if  everyone would handle each other's varied personalities with so much  dignity.

This episode covers a lot of contemporary ground. We talk about how we change over time, our values too may evolve and how this growing up affects not only us but also those close to us. We also chat about how our values start gaining meaning when we are pushed in a corner by either events or people. An interesting episode, this. Don't miss it.

This is an amazingly fragile kind of conversation because the guest feels she is not articulate enough and we start with looking at this assumption deeply. This track triggers off some revelations by me on the things I feel vulnerable about - just what the Doctor ordered in this kind of series. The guest has no inhibitions about sharing her vulnerabilities and strengths and the ways she is able to negotiate the difficulties she faces when in these mind-spaces.

This series begins with a couple whose personalities shine through their  individuality as much as their togetherness. The way their contrasting  attitudes, their mutual respect and their complementing point of view  merge in this single but different conversation gives me hope we have a  great series here.

This one is a good mix of a practical yet thoughtful talk. Our guest discusses the state of the world as it is today, post Covid, its impact  on people, the great spate of resignations, our own mental health, some hacks which help her along with what is the right way to view pressures - whether personal or professional - a lot of things to ponder over in this conversation.

How does death impact our relationships? How does religion influence our  understanding? Has Covid taught us a new lesson? Or is it that the  lesson was always there and we did not 'get it'? The last episode in the  series on Death has the guest overwhelmed with the depth of her own  answer at least once. What a moving end to a topic which should have run  forever. Don't miss it.

A chat which starts on a light note, and goes deeper and deeper as time  progresses. We discuss calmness, the necessity of accepting things as  they are, times when there is no choice but to act, the privilege of  panicking (yeah!) and many more varied points which seem as wise ways to  deal with the unsatisfactory parts of life. Do check out this  absolutely fascinating chat. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

As death catches you unprepared - especially when those you are close to  you move into the great beyond, it hits you hard. Not only the  mortality of our existence, but our context of life and how we deal with  it on a daily basis. This is a short but extremely sensitive talk on a  subject hard to discuss when one is overwhelmed. I think you should take  time out for it. Do listen in.

His voice and music are loved by many and it took me a while to get the courage to put his fame aside and allow this conversation to be normal. I  guess I needn't have thought much - this has turned out to be as normal a conversation as it could be. A look into his approach to work, his initial struggle with success, his grounded way of understanding the industry and the process of creating and many other things. Here is how he discussed his vulnerability. An hour well spent I would think. Check it out. For more videos, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

Death comes most times unannounced and our guest talks about the little  things one can take time out for when we still have our loved ones with  us. She also discusses how certain factors or behaviour patterns by  people close to us can irritate us during this sensitive time. Many  little insights in this chat with a young wise guest.
