First published on my blog on March 31, 2022. Read the post here → Maybe violence isn't all that bad?! The first time I entertained that statement/question I shocked myself. A long time ago (August of 2013) I wrote a piece entitled Violence is never the answer and I absolutely, one-hundred-percent believed it to be True. Capital T Truth. But now… No. I no longer think it is. I am greatly influenced by Daniel Quinn and My Ishmael, where he speaks at length to this. I remember picking apples from my mother's apple trees in the fall while listening to the audiobook. I've read the physical book before. I've listened to the audiobook before. But this time, happily picking apple after apple, I immediately ‘rewound the tape' and re-listened to the chapter where violence is discussed in such a way that I all of a sudden saw beyond the violence, saw the reason for it, or at least a possible reason for it, in way's I'd never before understood it. As I worked on the transcript of my fifth conversation with Reddy, episode 49 on Tankespjärn with Helena Roth, where we spend much of the time playing (yes. Absurd as it might seem, play is the best descriptor, I think.) with violence, I heard myself say Maybe violence isn't all that bad?!, knowing that if anyone can stomach me saying that, it's Reddy. Which he did like a champ. So, what about violence might not be all bad? Well… Look at other species, and you will see more in-species fighting, and less between-species fighting. (Note, I write fighting, and not killing. Most predators hunt-to-kill other species, rather than rely on their own species for prey, but they fight with their own kind.) This has been true for humans too, for most of human life on earth. The in-species fighting has served the purpose of keeping other groups/tribes on their toes, making sure they don't relax. (Which, incidentally, also is a way to keep the other's as well as ourselves fit because who knows when they might return the favor?!). The concept of drawing first blood has sufficed, to a large extent, and not until the culture of Modern Man did we start to annihilate the others if they did not assimilate into our culture. No longer settling for you are free to do what you do, as long as we are free to do what we do, the culture of Modern Man stated that you may no longer remain separate from us, rooted in your own culture and behaviours. You have to do what and how we do. Nothing else is acceptable. The mash-up of this innate (?) trait–violence as a part of the way of nature–twisted, thwarted and manipulated by the culture of Modern Man, combined with technological advances, where you no longer have to be within arms reach to kill another person–has brought us to where we are today: A place where it's easy, almost a given, to dehumanize the other, and where the effect of violence-at-a-distance wreaks havoc way beyond the concept of first blood. So. Again. Maybe violence isn't all that bad?! But the violence I speak to is not the violence of today, where brutal, lethal force is applied at a distance, dehumanizing perpetrator and victim both. It's as if we've turned up the volume too high on violence and need to turn it down again, to recalibrate violence to a level where it isn't all that bad, again. Or?

First published on my blog on November 25, 2021. Read the post here → Riffing about an insight from the aftermath of my first divorce, where I had gotten the insight that whatever it was, it would not be accepted by my X, on the grounds of it coming from me. It wasn't what I said. It wasn't how I said it. It was that I said it. Or rather… it was that I said it. When that was the case, he shut down. Couldn't, or wouldn't, listen. That was a hard lesson to learn for me. To be so filled with ideas, feeling as if I had the fix for whatever the problem was, all the while realizing that there was nothing, bar telepathy, that I could use to share them. It took me a few more years to internalize this in a way that I feel is beneficial and benevolent, because to start with this just gave rise to frustration and resentment. A malevolence, eating away at me, as well as towards my X. In time though, I have come to be comfortable, at least now and again, with holding my tongue. Actually not experiencing the dire urge to blurt out whatever thought pops into my head, but to sit with it. Sometimes choosing to share. Sometimes content with keeping it on the inside, engaging in an inner dialogue with myself. The snippet is taken from episode 30 The everyday creativity of music, coaching and meandering of Tankespjärn with Helena Roth, a podcast of meandering conversations, this one tfrom season two, with Andy Mort.

First published on my blog on July 21, 2021. Read the post here → Intimacy. Into-me-see. What armor do I have on me, preventing you from seeing-into-me? (What armor do I have, preventing me from seeing-into-myself? Oh, that's perhaps the more significant question?) What are the costumes I put on, that act as protection, a shield, admitting access into me only to a certain depth, often quite shallow? I can step into costumes such as… being a mother. A sister. A wife. Colleague, neighbor, friend. Or costumes where I am a clown, the joker, the wall-flower. A silent observer, all-lights-on-me, the dependable one. Or the victim, perpetrator, by-stander. Oh. So. Many. Choices. I have quite a few costumes in my wardrobe, some more used than others. And. It's not b a d to have and use costumes. They serve a purpose, for sure. Propping me up, acting as an exoskeleton when I don't have what it takes within me to step into a certain role. But once I've learned the how's and what's of it, what then? What might be if I then get out of my costume, trying the waters all on my own? That's what I wanna get to. To a more conscious use of costumes, far from an automatic, habitual use. Where I rely less and less on them, stepping into situations and relationships as me, more fully. Thereby opening up for the depths of me to be more accessible (yes, to myself, as well as others). What costume/s do you habitually put on? In meandering conversation with Mayke Vullings, we speak about intimacy and costumes, coming at it from two very different standpoints. In the end though, we are in complete agreement that we want to show up in life in ways that invites intimacy, and getting out of ones costumes definitely enhances the likelihood of more intimacy. To hear more, check out episode 13 Intimacy and into-me-see from the podcast Tankespjärn with Helena Roth.

I dagens avsnitt diskuterar vi boken "Extreme Ownership" av Jocko Willinksom handlar om ledarskap och ansvar. Vi diskuterar den främst utifrån ett personligt och organisatoriskt perspektiv - dvs. hur kan jag som privatperson applicera den i mitt privatliv och i min karriär. Ett perspektiv som vi har haft i många är att man kan "leka leken" att man är ansvarig för allt som händer och inte händer i ens liv. Inte för att det nödvändigtvis är sant eller ens rätt, utan för att man då får möjligheten att ställa sig frågan: "Vad kan jag göra för att få det resultat som jag önskar?" En ganska provocerande fråga / påstående i sammanhanget blir: "Du kan inte både ha ett resultat och en ursäkt/förklaring samtidigt. Så välj vad du vill ha - resultatet eller ursäkten?" Återigen, inte för att komma från ett anklagande eller negativt perspektiv, utan snarare totalt tvärtom. Allt man vill ha i sitt liv har man möjligheten att åstadkomma. Det som är spännande med Jockos bok är att han tar det hela till en annan nivå. I boken beskriver han sin karriär som officer i den amerikanska militären och hur lärde honom om ledarskap och ett antal principer "hands on". Dessa principer har han under åren förfinat och senare även använt som managementkonsult i amerikanska företag. Som vi säger i avsnittet så får man ibland "se genom" allt som han skriver, särskilt krigshistorierna, men principerna är väldigt, väldigt bra och genomtänkta. Det är dessa principer som vi i dagens avsnitt har förmånen att diskutera med två vänner Helena Roth och Niklas Delmar. Det är samma Helena som var med i avsnitt #240 där vi pratade om tankespjärn och personlig utveckling. Niklas Delmar som är en av mina närmsta vänner arbetar som organisations/managementkonsult på företaget HejEngagemang. De arbetar med många av liknande frågor med några av Sveriges största företag. Några av principerna som vi diskuterar i avsnittet är just "extreme ownership" - att inte skylla på andra, att se sig själv som orsaken till allt som händer och inte händer. Men vi pratar också om det utifrån hans princip "there are no bad teams, only bad leaders". Något som jag tror många av oss någon gång har tänkt - "om jag bara hade .... då skulle jag ha lyckats.". Vi pratar om att ensam inte är stark utan att tillsammans är vi starkare. Vi pratar om ömsesidigt beroende istället för oberoende. Vi kommer in på decentraliserat ledarskap i organisationer eller det som vi ibland brukar kalla för "bäst läge leder" och mycket mer. Vi hoppas att avsnittet ger inspiration och tankespjärn till nya saker i både det privata och yrkesmässiga livet. För dig som är medlem på Patreon kommer det i veckan ytterligare en inspelning från vår bokklubb där boken också ingick.

In this conversation, Helena introduces us to Tankespjärn and - don't worry - explains the meaning of it. Helena's personal relationship with the concept started with a dramatic announcement from her ex-husband when she was 9-months pregnant with their child, and it has since then proved to be a reliable companion on her way to living well. I had a great time talking with Helena on agency, decision-making, keeping in mind what we really want, and more.   Follow Helena on Twitter: twitter.com/HERO_respondi Website: www.tankespjarn.com

Paraphrasing Inma who said something along the lines of ‘in any given day, there's more giving/receiving than buying/selling taking place on the planet' I want to challenge you to think about it. If you read this before pressing play on the 43rd podcast episode, then maybe hold off for a minute or two. Close your eyes. Sense into it. What is buying/selling? Who is buying/selling? What's the benefits and the drawbacks? How does it serve? And whom? And then. Lean into the other one. Giving and receiving. What does that mean? Where does giving/receiving take place? Who's engaging in it? Where? And why? How does it serve? How does it differ from buying/selling? And what if… one or the other was suddenly outlawed. A world with no buying/selling taking place. Or a world with no giving/receiving taking place. Can you picture these two scenarios? What would they each lead to? What would the impact be, if you removed either of them? Me, Matthew and Inma spend quite some time meandering around this tankespjärn, and it's stayed with me ever since our conversation. It's made me more conscious of when I engage in either of these four activities (buying, selling, giving, receiving). But it's also made me more aware how subtle a lot of the giving is, and even more so, the receiving. I receive things a l l t h e t i m e. Every breath I take. There's a gift given me, that I receive. Every sip of water, each morsel of food, is a gift given to me, that I receive. Every smile I encounter, every song I hear, the flower I smell… all of it gifted me. Some more easily and readily received than others. (There's a lot of song's that I am not interested in receiving. Flower's I don't particularly enjoy looking at or smelling.) The shelter my house brings me, the warmth the stove graciously extends to me, how the intricate system of my physical body can propel me 8 kilometers by bike swiftly and without too much trouble. It's simply amazing, when you start to think of it. Brings me the same type of feeling that I get sitting outside on a dark night, looking up at the stars in the universe… drowning in the vastness of it all. I hope you will find a nugget or two of tankespjärn once you press Play, inviting me, Matthew and Inma into your life for a while, gifted our presence, perhaps receiving something you didn't expect?

Rikedom i livet handlar även om saker bortom pengar. I dagens avsnitt tar vi upp ett par olika tankespjärn för ett rikare liv bortom ekonomi. Ett exempel är frågan "Hur kan du få ett rikare liv genom att ta bort saker?" och en annan är utmaningen med att "Säga ja när man menar ja och säga nej när man menar nej." Vi intervjuar vår vän Helena Roth som introducerade begreppet "tankespjärn" i vårt liv. Hon är utbildad och väldigt duktig coach som jag själv brukar gå till när jag behöver ha ett annat perspektiv. Samtidigt är hennes bakgrund inte beteendevetenskap utan snarare som kvalitetsingenjör som designar flöden i industrier parallellt med sitt poddande och bloggande på sajten tankespjarn.com. Du som hänger i forumet känner igen henne under användarnamnet @tankespjarn. Idén till dagens avsnitt föddes när vi var och åt lunch häromveckan och pratade om våra mål och spel för 2022. Vi kom in på hur klurigt det är att även i vuxen ålder - vi är alla 40+ - att säga det man ibland tänker, känner eller menar. Det vill säga att autentiskt säga ja när man menar ja och säga nej när man menar nej. Vi pratar även om en föreläsning som Helena höll på en investeringsdag där hon var en av föreläsarna jämte börs-vd:ar med flera och där hennes föreläsning verkligen gav tankespjärn. I ett rum där många hade mycket, så pratade hon om ett rikare liv genom att pocka bort saker i sitt liv utifrån frågan: "Hur kan du få ett rikare liv genom att ta bort saker?" En fråga som har hängt med mig sedan dess. Det är lätt att utgå från att man hela tiden ska addera saker, gärna större och dyrare saker, upplevelser och liknande. Ett annat ämne vi tar upp är värdet av insikter. Det var en tråd i RikaTillsammans-forumet som började med frågan: "Vad kan man göra en gång men som har stor inverkan på livet och livskvaliteten?" Där Helenas svar var typ: "Att få en insikt. Allvarligt talat menar jag det, insikter har förmåga att öppna helt nya dörrar, fast de inte direkt är ngt man kan beställa och så kommer de. Men den insikt JAG fått som sannerligen haft enormt stor inverkan på liv och förbättrat min livskvalitet enormt är när jag verkligen insåg att jag inte behövde vara så gruvligt hård mot mig själv. Att jag inte behövde tro på alla tankar jag tror, och att jag faktiskt kan vara varsam i samvaro med mig själv." Ja, ett lite annat ämne än hard-core ekonomi, men i våra ögon ack så viktigt när det gäller perspektivet ett rikare liv bortom pengar. Nästa vecka kör vi sannolikt ett avsnitt om pension, så du som tycker att detta var för flummigt är välkommen tillbaka då.

Caspian found Andy for me. I'd asked him to find some Instagram-accounts that might be of interest for me to follow and interact with, but he gave me a few bonuses. One of them was Andy, where he wrote 'Not an IG acc either, but a well worth read and possible friend' adding a link to a piece entitled Gentleness is strength. I read it, loved it, and proceeded to find Andy on Twitter (he does have an IG-account too). Really enjoying what I saw and heard from him, I sent him a DM, and two months later we recorded a conversation for his pod, and we both knew that wasn't the last conversation we'd be having. When season two rolled around, I asked, he said yes, and here's our first in this series of five meandering conversations. And we dive straight into the creativity of everyday life. Andy is bubbling as thirteen songs had just come to him. That's never ever happened to me (I've had a heck of a lot of blog posts come that way though), so I just cannot help myself. Having a genuine songwriter and musician in front of me (on Zoom), I get to ask all the questions I've always wanted to ask, about what writing songs really means, how it's done (or, at least, how Andy does it), and it's fascinating. Lo and behold, no one will be surprised to hear that songwriting was just the first of a number of meanders that we engaged in, including coaching, relationships (or relating, with a nod to Reddy), personal development or expansion, even though I don't think we ever used those words. But there's more. Books. Rereading books, and why that is such a fascinating concept. You know. You read a book and love it, and come across it years later, rereading it… and perhaps think What on earth was I thinking? This is utter rubbish! or you go even deeper in understanding, loving it even more. Both of these reactions (and any other reaction possible) is a testament to growth. Development. Expansion. Shifting, as a human being, with other perspectives, insights, experiences. All of it impacts and/or influences how I meet the world (and myself!) and rereading books is such a fun mirror of this process. Coaching, marketing, desire and wants leading us to whole body yeses and no's… Yeah, you'll be able to find some tankespjärn in this one for sure!

The past season of 'Tankespjärn with Helena Roth' is a series of five meandering conversations each with five people, a total of twenty-five episodes. No agenda, no time constraints, no purpose to fulfill as such, other than showing up and responding to what shows up. It's been magic, and I love the diversity of these conversations. We've roamed the world together. Both the external world, but also, especially, the world(s) within us. When you get really naked, then your boundaries expand. ~ Gary This is the second of two episodes (check out episode 26 if you haven't already) where me and my pod-conversation partners –this time around with Alison Coates and Gary Breads– reflect together on the past season in the company of Caspian Almerud, acting as the moderator. It's an attempt to tie it all together, but also a way for me to get ready for season two. To get to meet all of you in this nakedness and rawness and the sometimes challenging conversations, it's been really, really nice. ~Caspian It has been. Magical even. And. I want people who listen to know that this type of conversation is haveable. Not just for me and my wonderful friends, but also for you. Like Mayke said towards the end of episode 26, these conversations want to go and multiply themselves. That is where you come in. Ask yourself the same question Alison asked herself here: If I was to choose five people to have [five] conversations with, who would they be? […a conversation] can't get to that level of intimacy in five minutes. Or maybe you can, once you've done the groundwork. ~ Alison What would it take for you to take a first step towards doing your own 5 x 5 conversations (and I don't mean you have to record them and release them into the world as a pod, even though if you did, I'd love to listen in! So if you do, please let me know, ok?)? Here's some tankespjärn and a challenge for you: Are you up for the challenge to initiate 5 x 5 conversations in your own life? Links: Spending magical spaces of time with people you love

Approaching the end of my 5 x 5 conversations for this season of 'Tankespjärn with Helena Roth' I get the idea to do a joint conversation with everyone involved, as a way to share and reflect together on what this experience has been like. I invited Caspian Almerud to moderate, and for those who haven't figured it out, without Caspian there would be no pod! I record conversations, check for snippets and write the episode descriptions, and he does everything else. With seven people spread across the globe, finding one time that suited us all turned out to be impossible. So we divided it up, into a 3 + 2-set up, where this is the first, featuring me and Caspian in conversation with Mayke Vullings, Frank Ebbert and Beverly Delidow. I'm so blessed to spend time with people who nourish me with the beauty of words, the beauty of phrases, the beauty of silence. ~Helena I got teary-eyed more than once, or… who am I kidding? Four, five times at least, having to snivel and dry my eyes, in awe of what I heard, felt, saw. You have to trust the person you're interacting with. I do. And then you have to trust yourself, which is sometimes the bigger question. ~Beverly Creating space for the other to hear themselves. ~Mayke Let the world be beautiful and me be within. ~Frank During this conversation I receive an insight. These conversations have played a bigger part of my life in the past six months, then I've previously been aware of. Sitting like this, reflecting and listening together, I realize I've been having five times the amount of conversations as the others. Five long meandering conversations with each of five most remarkable persons. That's twenty-five conversations, none shorter than one hour twenty minutes, the longest two hours fifty, and then… going through each transcript, listening to the snippets from each, and writing an episode description. All adding to the time I've spent on this. I've immersed myself in this project for at least one hundred hours in the past six months. And that's probably cutting it short. Say two hundred? Perhaps even more… No wonder! How could something so immersive not have an impact on me? An impact that ripples out into all other areas of my life. There has been magic in all of these conversations. That's sort of what ties them together. ~ Caspian It sure is. And what a lovely common thread, magic. Now there's some tankespjärn for you. Perhaps? How can you invite more magic into your life?

In this week's episode I am joined by Helena Roth, the gentle rebel behind tankespjarn.com. You may well be wondering what "Tankespjärn" means. While there isn't a concrete definition, it should begin to take root and make sense as you listen to our conversation. Helena has been on a long journey towards inner gentleness. She describes the place she has reached today as gentle with an edge. This resonated strongly with the concept of gentle rebellion. For Helena, gentleness appeared to be the only effective response to the harsh internal dialogue which she describes as a mash-up of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. She says: "You do gentle. Then you add “the edge”, which for me, is tankespjärn." Descriptive Not Prescriptive Tankespjärn is a description of something that we all experience. It's found in the opening or invitation to experience a shift. Not enforced from an external source but through an inner electric surge. Where something ignites and a new possibility or perspective is seeded. Like me, Helena takes a descriptive rather than prescriptive approach to writing, coaching, and creativity. Rather than providing one-size-fits-all blueprints and models, we carry an intuitive connection to this idea of tankespjärn. Helena says that "when you're faced with Tankespjärn, there's a choice. To step away from the possibility, or to step into it. But it sure is hard to forget about that door, leading to the unknown; the knowledge of which will, once revealed, always stay with you, even if you chose to let the door slam shut without entering. What is tankespjärn for one, might not be for another. They aren't necessarily universal or general, but rather personal and specific. What makes me go Huh? might not cause even the slightest ripple within you, and vice versa." I have experienced it over and over in my life. It's nice to put a name to it. "Certainty is a closing of the mind, to create the new requires doubt" - Milton Glazer In this episode we talk about: What 'tankespjärn' means, and how Helena discovered it as a perfect personal philosophy How to find your 'edge' and what it looks like to walk along it in life Learning gentleness and how to stick with it when we make errors Seeing gentleness as a shock absorber which can help us roll with the punches of life Why we are both fans of descriptive rather than prescriptive approaches to blogging and business The sources of our current 'epidemic of harshness' (and the potential antidotes to it) How certainty and anxiety rise together, and what can happen when we drop our certainty statements and changing our language The infectiousness of culture (how we can be more intentional in order to create a gentler and less harsh world) Why it's OK to not have (or share) your opinion How your enjoyment doesn't detract from my suffering (and why it's important to share what feels good rather than staying silent) The ways we shape and create our own reality with the people and stories we surround ourselves How adversity is often the fertile ground of connection, beauty, and art What to do with your desire to make a positive imprint (and how to use this in conjunction with your approach to social media) How to curate healthy filters of input and output in order to build an energising creative rhythm Connect With Helena Twitter: @HERO_Respondi Instagram: @helenaroth Website: tankespjarn.com Over to You Have you experienced tankespjärn recently?

Dagens avsnitt är en fortsättning på vårt samtal om inre framgångsfaktorer för ett rikare liv. Vi tror nämligen att framgång kommer i skärningspunkten mellan den tekniska kompetensen som att köpa fonder, spara långsiktigt, globalt och billigt samt den inre kompetensen kring förhållningssätt, självmedvetenhet och stödjande attityder. Vi bygger artikelserien på T. Harv Ekers bok ”Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” och hans s.k. ”wealth principles”. Om ett par veckor blir det många avsnitt som kommer vara väldigt tekniska i form av bästa fonderna, uppföljning på portföljerna, ombalansering och planering inför 2020. Därför tänkte vi variera och bryta av med dessa mer pratiga avsnitt som är minst lika viktiga för framgång. Precis som tidigare handlar de inre framgångsfaktorerna inte om ett ”rätt svar” på samma sätt som när man t.ex. ombalanserar. Det handlar snarare som vår vän Helena Roth brukar säga om ”tankespjärn”. Ett sätt att utmana sitt eget sätt att tänka. Det är nämligen först när vi kan tänka nytt som vi får tillgång till nya saker att göra som först då kan leda till nya resultat. Ungefär som när man levlar i ett dataspel. Precis som i de föregående avsnitten delar vi med oss av våra tankar, misslyckande, framgångar och erfarenheter av principerna. Det är ett ganska personligt avsnitt och inte en regelrätt recension. Det innebär så klart att det även finns andra sätt att se på det. I dagens avsnitt diskuterar vi bland annat följande: - Din inkomst står i direkt proportion till det värde som du skapar - Frågan ”hur tjänar jag pengar?” är felställd. Det handlar om ”hur skapar jag värde för andra?” - Det är inget stort i att hålla sig själv liten - Fokuserar du på möjligheter eller problem? - Receptet för ekonomisk framgång: tjäna pengar, behåll dina pengar och investera dem. - Välsigna det som du önskar - Du är genomsnittet av de 10 personer du spenderar mest tid - Ledare tjänar mycket mer än följare En av de stora aha-upplevelserna i mitt liv var när jag fick feedbacken kring hur man tjänar pengar. Jag gick hela tiden runt om tänkte ”hur tjänar JAG pengar?”. Det handlade om mig, mig och mig. En god vän sa att det var sjukt självupptaget och att med den attityden skulle jag med stor sannolikhet aldrig tjäna några större pengar. I alla fall inte på något hållbart, etiskt eller långsiktigt sätt. Istället sade han att fokuset borde vara på andra människor. Han sa genom att skapa värde för andra människor, genom att hjälpa dem att få det som de vill ha, så kommer de hjälpa dig att få det som du vill ha. Det handlar om att först ge för att sedan få. På sätt och vis både mycket enklare och svårare. Tack för den här veckan!

Learning how to do gentle towards yourself can be, for you, the key to loving living life. At least, that's what doing gentle did to me, Helena Roth, once I understood that it was actually an option. Imagine having turned 30+ before ever realizing it's possible to be gentle with myself. From that moment in time, I've re-learned how to be in the world - both inside and outside of myself. Here I will be sharing the tools and tricks I've picked up along the way, hoping it will help you transform from a victim of the epidemic of harshness into a proud practitioner of doing gentle.

Lyssna i Itunes Vad begärs egentligen utav eleverna, lärarna och föräldrarna i dagens skola? Varför ska det alltid vara mer av allt? Detta är andra delen utav mitt samtal med Helena Roth.  

Lyssna i Itunes Hur ska man som vuxen förhålla sig till ungdomen, vad gör skolan för ungdomen? Hur ser bokstaven E ut, om du ser den ifrån alla 4 olika vädersträck? Dina gärningar påverkar världen, tillsammans får man saker att hända. Detta är första delen i mitt samtal med Helena Roth.  

Alma Roth är dotter till Helena Roth, initiativtagare till #skolvåren, och som sådan ganska luttrad till mammas alla tokiga idéer. Så när mamma frågade om Alma ville bli intervjuad till 10minuter.se så var svaret självklart positivt. Alma går i åttonde klass på Videdalsskolan i Malmö, och är en tjej som älskar musik. Dessutom älskade hon […]
