But this just isn’t true. “No” is a sentence in itself. We often tie ourselves up in knots trying to explain our no, which defeats the point, as the clarity becomes diluted. In this episode I’m exploring why we often feel the need to justify our “no” and what we can do to stick to our decisions. There’s also a bit of a Bond theme running through this episode too – can you spot all of the references?H...2024-05-1509 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeWhy am I putting on armour, if I'm not going into battle?We all know the days when we take a deep breath and metaphorically put on our armour. It’s not fun. But why are we doing this? What’s happening when we feel like we need to defend ourselves against people, situations or the world in general? In this episode I’m exploring why we might be reaching for our shields and what steps we can take to learn how to look after ourselves better, so we aren’t dragging that armour around with us!Here are the highlights for this episode:(1.06) Freud or Jung?(1.32) Freu...2024-05-0810 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeUnderstanding Chronic PainPain is something that all of us will go through at some point in our lives, and for some of us it will be chronic. However, this isn’t talked about very much and most people will rely on painkillers and what their healthcare provider tells them to do. This might work – and it might not, and can leave us feeling bewildered and alone in what steps to take next. In today’s episode I welcome chronic pain expert, Narinder Sheena, to share her experience of living with and working through chronic pain. There’s lots to learn from Nari...2024-05-0133 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeDon't go to the DIY store for milkDon’t go to the DIY store for milk. Seems simple doesn’t it?

Fortunately we don’t have to be destined to stay on this roundabout forever. Have a listen and find out what’s happening when we are looking in the wrong place, and equally, what we can do about it.Here are the highlights for...2024-04-2409 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeOops, I did it againWhy do we do things over and over again, even though we tell ourselves that we are going to do things differently? Why is it so hard to make changes that we know we want to make? In this episode I dive into another of Freud’s concepts; the compulsion to repeat. By looking at the theory and applying it to what we are doing in our own lives we can start to get a bit more of that elusive control back. And there’s a nod to Cabaret and Depeche Mode too – what’s not to like?Here are the h...2024-04-1710 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeWhy do I still feel like I'm being picked last for PE?Today I’m thinking about a moment that many of us will have experienced and would most likely rather forget – that of being the last one to be picked for a team in our PE classes. It seems to be something that hasn’t been left behind, despite our best efforts. I’m interested in what the reasons for this might be. Why do we still worry about if we are going to be chosen by other people?Here are the highlights for this episode:(1.00) If our school days aren’t the best days of our lives it’s n...2024-04-1010 minThe Dynamics Of Everyday LifeRedundancy After 50 - with Tom ParkinIn this episode, we tackle the daunting topic of redundancy after 50, with my guest Tom Parkin, who shares his journey from a stable career to an unexpected redundancy at 51.

Die BörsenminuteInvestmentlegende Jim Rogers: Sit & waitBörsen sind unattraktiv, Silber 30 Prozent unterbewertet
Einerseits meldet die EU- einen weiterhin beachtlichen Inflationsanstieg um 5,3 Prozent – das würde eine Zinserhöhung erforden, damit wieder mehr gespart und weniger konsumiert wird. Andererseits trübt sich gerade die Konjunktur ein. Das würde für weitere Zinsansenkungen erfordern, um die Wirtschaft anzukurbeln.
Der Internationale Währungsfonds sieht Deutschland nämlich in die Rezession schlittern, die ja als zwei rückläufige Wirtschaftsquartale hinter einander definiert wird. Österreichs Wirtschaft ist im zweiten Quartal um 1,1 Prozent zum Vorjahresquartal geschrumpft, das Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitut Wifo war noch von einen mod...2023-09-0102 min

Die BörsenminuteJapan-Boom: Hätte man auf Jim Rogers gehört!Der japanische Leitindex Nikkei 225 ist am Freitag bis auf 30.924,57 Punkte geklettert und damit auf seinen höchsten Wert seit 1990. Auch
getrieben durch externe Faktoren wie die in Aussicht gestellte, aber trotz allem noch nicht erfolgte Einigung über die Schuldenobergrenze ihres wichtigen Handelspartners USA.
Hoffentlich ist das kein schlechtes Omen. 1990 brach der Nikkei 225 nach seinem Höhenflug innerhalb eines Jahres um 40 Prozent ein. Das Land
stürzte in seine bislang größte Wirtschaftskrise, von der sich Japan bis heute noch nicht erholt hat.
Heute ist allerdings alles anders. Die Börse ist transparenter. Die Unternehmen kennen inzwisc...2023-05-2202 min
