Dealing with Assumptions
Well this is getting repetitive, but looks like he's back for the third time around! Follow along as Animesh briefly explores the dangers of assuming things using a real-life example and a few common scenarios, talks about how this action is something innate to each of us regardless of our origin, and how one can use this same action for one's own peace of mind.
Vulnerability, Jealousy and Decisions
Following an 'exhausting' week (as he calls it), Animesh takes a laid-back approach in today's talk, letting go of making points beforehand (except the topics themselves), and makes a dive into the world of vulnerability and how the lack of it is what is incredibly unhealthy, why the emotion called jealousy is so effective, and how questions become open-ended as one approaches their prime.
Personality tests and astrology: How our minds are easily influenced
Making a second return to what was supposed to be a weekly show, Animesh tackles two unassuming giants in the world of influential factors, while continuing to lay the smackdown on astrology. You wouldn't want to miss this episode!
A Clockwork Orange: Going Beyond The Question of Choice
Also, the pop filter was not used in this episode, so apologies if you hear any (pops)!
Why ambition doesn't really matter
Still recovering from the flu, Animesh gives a serious take on how ambition has always been misunderstood as being a necessity in life. He briefly explains the thought process behind this opinion, and goes on to explore the impacts it may have along the way. Finally, there's the introduction of a familiar term which serves as a much better option in leading one's life.
Running a virtual meeting sucks (and how to fix that)
Animesh comments on virtual meetings not being interactive, and explores some of the reasons behind this (with some possible workarounds), all whilst occasionally slipping in improvised one-liners.
