The Great (Up) Leveller

In this episode I talk about Malcolm Gladwell's latest offering 'Listening to Strangers' and how his writing encapsulates riguer, intellect and above all curiosity. His writing, I believe, will be used in years to come to inform law enforcement officers, judges, spies and other people with the authority to judge a stranger's intentions, guilt or innocence taking into account our own natural bias towards truth and our inability to really know a stranger's point of reference and interior landscape

This episode is from me to you, apologising for my tardiness in posting, conveniently wrapped in the excuse of procrastination and some observations I've been making over the last couple of weeks. I have discovered the importance of action and getting out of the head and a tool to help you do so, not my own, but one I find useful. I also talk about community and service.

Katerina Cosgrove has leaned into her new life on acreage property from the hustle and bustle of the city. She has faced some of life's realities that has made her re-evaluate the meaning of her life and she shares some of her philosophies around this with us today.

An additional meditation called the three minute body scan can be found in video format on The Great (Up) Leveller FB page. https://www.facebook.com/KimBalmanno/videos/491467498083546/
