The Values Workshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. Once we like something, we crave for more. Is this a natural human  tendency, if it is, what is the science behind it? Why does it have so much power over us? Is there a way to check our attachment towards  something or our aversion to someone? We discuss with personal examples, and thankfully seem to have a few hacks. Do check out this interesting  part. You will want more, I promise :) For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. When push comes to shove, we feel equipped with our bias, our being and  what we are, because we have invested so much into it. But life does not  seem to care and punctures this 'bubble' of personality relentlessly.  With no answers coming forth from our traditional approach, we find  ourselves cornered. The question we ask here, is that really a bad  thing? Do check what we spoke about. Fore the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. Convinced as we are about our path, our knowledge, and our sources, the  problem occurs when they fail to hold good in the light of what life  forces us to face. In those moments, the critical factor is whether we  are open minded enough and willing to hear and learn? Tough question,  and no easy answers here. Do check it out.

This is the audio part of a video podcast. Any topic we pick up today to talk to anyone, it is easy to have a point  of view. We have information from many sources, we have thought about  it and come to a conclusion of sorts. The trouble is, this attitude  might stop us from accessing new knowledge about the subject. We discuss  this bias towards our own view and try and check the reasons,  manifestations and the results of that kind of attitude.  Extremely  engaging and spiritual chat, this. Check it out.

This is the audio part of a video podcast. As much as fast pace thrills us, and makes the adrenaline rush within,  the constancy of a life like this, might take a toll if we are not  careful. Our guest talks about the health issues which his passion cost  him, and how he realized if he didn't slow down, he would burn out. Yet,  it is easier said than done. We sum up the things that make success a  possibility. contributing to others, the way to go about life, and in a  very modern way, look at 'What is good living?' Do check out this  interesting end to a wonderful episode. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. Interesting though our jobs may be, important too, they may not be the  be-all and end-all of our existence. Success is what we all yearn for,  work for and are willing to sacrifice a lot of things to reach our  desired destination, but often we may realise the fun of the journey,  slowing down, pacing oneself might be much more useful in the long haul.  It may require us to move our eyes off the goal for some time. Sounds  ridiculous? Maybe not. Check what we spoke about here. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. As our guest discusses his journey, we realize the deeper effects of our  jobs on our lives. As a writer, he takes us through the ups and downs  of his working, which is way beyond the romantic version of a creative  job, as most think. He also talks about how it affects his daily life,  and his inability to live the moment, because of the nature of his job,  his deep involvement and understanding of the eco-system he operates in.  Personally, I enjoy this modern practical nature of the conversation  especially because it is a 'lived reality' for our guest. Engaging and  absorbing chat, this. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. We have a fairly successful screenwriter and lyricist as a guest, who  gives us an insight to the difficulties which almost all contemporary  leaders in different professions face. His passion, dedication,  perspective and storytelling is a telling statement of how one can grow  in a very competitive environment. Yet, when he talks about the  flip-side, we understand the other neglected aspects of success - which  may sometimes include letting go of simpler pleasures. Quite a wonderful  conversation, this. Don't miss its view of modern work-related  problems. Check it out. For the video check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This is the audio part of a video podcast. We do talk about love. We do so in the context of ourselves as well. But  understanding what love is, even when it comes to treating ourselves  well is a lot of work. We need to let go of judgements and notions about  our own selves before we can accept and treat ourselves 'lovingly'. An  easy-going conversation ensues in this part as we come to the end of a  wonderful chat between me and the guest. Do check out this last part.

This is the audio part of a video podcast. Why do we withhold this critical dimension of love from ourselves? Do we  think we aren't good enough for love? What stops us? Is it being  fearful or critical or do we give up on ourselves too quickly? I and our  guest both discuss our journeys and find interesting stories within us.  See if you can relate to these. A wonderful conversation, this. Do  check it out. For the video, please check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop
