This month Simmi has 2 new guests Dr Savi Arora and Rohin Arora, whilst the regular co-hosts have hopped across the pond (UK to US) to research a future episode that incorporates the delights of Nashville and New Orleans! (Hint: A future episode will be dedicated to music! ). The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short. But that isn't a reason for unremitting despair, or for living in an anxiety-fuelled panic about making the most of your limited time. It's a cause for relief. You get to give up on something that was always impossible - the quest to become an optimised, infinitely capable, emotionally invincible, fully independent person you're officially supposed to be. Then you get to roll up your sleeves and start work on what's gloriously possible instead. The author Oliver Burkeman recognises that trying to cram more and more tasks into already overfilled adult lives is not effective, and that going in the opposite direction helps one to be truly productive. If you have ever felt that efficiency means that more gets poured into your cup simply because you found a way to drink faster, this could be a helpful manifesto for you. This Podcast discusses if our lives will be truly fulfilled if are able to manage our 'to do' lists better. Can we say that it was purposeful Vs our desires? Should we not try to fulfil our dreams now than leaving it for later.  In other words you cannot give your life more time, so give the time you have more life.
