It's a new year, but perhaps for you, it's the first year, because you're a first year! OMG WAT. Crazy party, crazy lifestyle, I love it. What a city to have chosen for university. You probably won't regret it. Unless you do something real stupid like join a fraternity or study business or something like that.

The first step on our journey to bananalessness: calming down. Easier said than done. However with the methods listed in this podcast you'll find it easier than ever to keep a cool head.

In this age of social media, fake news, individualism and information overload, the certainties we relied on in the past are gone. In our quest for assurance and support, the only seemingly dependable pillar left is other people. So we look to them. But they are unsettled too. And by looking to them, we create and perpetuate our own vicious stress-cycle. As a result, we lose our sensible selves. And we go bananas. In his latest book, No More Bananas, UvA Professor Jeroen Kraaijenbrink provides a nine-step approach with some remarkably practical advice for keeping a cool head in the collective lunacy. We'll be devoting a podcast to each step and explaining the book as we go along.

Closed off from the entire world until 1992, Albania has undergone a remarkable transformation since.

Passage 6: kwezelarij is slecht, maar balans is goed. Wow, hoe kan het toch dat de podcasts naar beneden regenen in zo’n kort tijdsbestek. Dit terwijl we op dit pad zelfs soms een moment van conversatie verliezen. Wat is de balans tussen zelfvertrouwen en het jinxen van je levensloop. Kan een ongebalanseerde chi leiden tot the embodiment van jnoen in je oog ? Wij weten het ook niet maar we praten er wel over, we komen immers beide uit hetzelfde land; Afrika!

Shey Rah and the piano maestro Teemu Kekkonen, sat down for a quick live session/chat at the Oval Table. The songs are jazzy, but not too jazzy, with a dash of reaffirming vulnerability.
