Dr Tim Lomas (@drtimlomas) is one of Europe's leading experts on positive psychology and the programme leader at the University of East London's MSc in Applied Positive Psychology (one of the most highly respected post-graduate courses in Europe). He has written for the Guardian, the Times, Psychology Today and has published numerous academic papers in high-profile journals, including Psychology, Public Policy and Law, Mindfulness, Psychology and Health and the Journal of Happiness Studies. His first book The Positive Power of Negative Emotions was published in 2016.In this episode Dr. Tim Lomas discusses his formative experiences travelling around China and Tibet that led him into his specialism in meditation and Buddhism. He also reveals his other passion of performing as part of a Ska band, which eventually had to give way to his PHd on Men, meditation and mental health. Tim went on to undertake research into untranslatable words that he describes as “portals into another landscape” that led him to create his Happiness Dictionary, a compilation of words from all over the world that have no translation in other languages. Discovering that concepts within psychology are western-centric and incomplete due to English being the dominant language, where it is unable to give exact equivalents to ideas from other languages. Leading to the idea that cultures that don't have words or concepts for certain feelings or emotions mean their knowledge of them can be incomplete. Therefore there is huge potential to develop the world of psychology outside of the English language.Also covered by Anne and Tim is the idea that the more language we have at our disposal to convey experiences or emotions, the more conducive it is to improved well-being and behaviour. Tim suggests that we need to strike a balance in many areas of our lives; from work-life balance to emotions and exercise. From this, harmony and integrity can be reached in our lives if a balance can be achieved within all of these areas as a whole.  Selected Links from Episode: Watch Dr Tim Lomas at TEDxZurich: https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_lomas_expanding_our_experiential_horizons_through_untranslatable_wordsYou can also find Dr. Tim Lomas at: Dr. Tim Lomas' Website - https://www.drtimlomas.com/Dr. Tim Lomas on Twitter - https://twitter.com/drtimlomas?lang=enDr. Tim Lomas on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtimlomas/?originalSubdomain=ukRead Dr. Tim Lomas' Books - https://www.drtimlomas.com/booksRead Dr. Tim Lomas' Papers - https://www.drtimlomas.com/papersFind Tim Lomas' Happiness Dictionary on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/happywordsproject/?hl=enDiscover Tim's Positive Lexicography, an interactive hub - https://hifisamurai.github.io/lexicography/Discover the Pema Chödrön  - https://pemachodronfoundation.org/Read Lisa Feldman Barrett's Book – How Emotions Are Made - https://lisafeldmanbarrett.com/books/how-emotions-are-made/Read Emotional Intelligence by The Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman - https://tinyurl.com/r59y75ptThe global Wellbeing Initiative - https://www.globalwellbeinginitiative.org/READ John Koenig's - The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - https://tinyurl.com/28nxa8cs Yancey Strickler & The Bento Society - https://www.ystrickler.com/Arvo Pärt- Spiegel im Spiegel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ6Mzvh3XCcThe Kermode and Mayo Film Review Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/kermode-and-mayos-film-review/id73802698Sam Harris' Waking Up App - https://wakingup.com/ *** If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

What do fertility doctors and 3D printed guns have in common? Law professor Jody Madeira says they both illustrate a need for a deeper examination into the intersections of technology and law.

Wie gehen wir in unserem Unternehmen mit Gewinnen um und wie denken wir Eigentum? Wem gehört das Unternehmen heute und in Zukunft? Wer profitiert im Erfolgsfall wie stark — und kann unser Unternehmen jemals zum Spekulationsgut am Kapitalmarkt gemacht werden? Welche Werte liegen unserem Handeln in all diesen Bereichen eigentlich zugrunde? Das sind große Fragen, die an der DNA der Organisation rühren, zu denen es aber früher oder später Antworten braucht. In dieser Episode spricht Kurswechsler Benedikt Drossart mit Achim Hensen, Gründer der Purpose Stiftung und Purpose Ventures, über Unternehmen, die sich selbst gehören und ein neues Eigentumsverständnis. Achim war selbst als Organisationsentwickler und Berater bei nextpractice tätig, hat dann den Transformationsprozess eines Online-Portals, Traum-Ferienwohnungen, erfolgreich begleitet und hatte in dem Augenblick seinen Aha-Moment, als das Unternehmen mehrheitlich verkauft wurde, denn das hat viel verändert. Dann gründete er 2015 mit anderen UnternehmerInnen Purpose und hilft seit dem Unternehmen durch Verantwortungseigentum dauerhaft unabhängig und sinnorientiert zu bleiben mit dem Ziel einer Wirtschaft die Mensch und Gesellschaft dient und Unternehmen, die Mitarbeitende, KundInnen und sinnvolle Produkte in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Du erfährst in dieser Episode mehr über die Entstehungsgeschichte von Purpose, über die zwei Prinzipien Sinnorientierung und Selbststeuerung, zu denen sich Unternehmen in Verantwortungseigentum verpflichten, darüber dass die Idee nicht neu ist und vom ersten Unternehmen bereits vor 120 Jahren umgesetzt wurde, über die drei Problemfelder, die Achim und sein Team ausgemacht haben und wie sie Unternehmen bei der Umsetzung von Verantwortungseigentum unterstützen.

Guy Spier is an investor based in Zurich. In June 2007 he made headlines by bidding US $650,100 with Mohnish Pabrai for a charity lunch with Warren Buffett. Since 1997 he has managed Aquamarine Fund, an investment partnership inspired by, and styled after, the original 1950’s Buffett partnerships. Previously, Guy Spier worked as an investment banker in New York and as a management consultant in London and Paris. Spier is co-host of TEDxZurich and wrote The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom and Enlightenment. In this episode, Guy and Stew talk about finding the courage to be honest at work and in one’s life. Guy discusses how the virtues of candor and how people are attracted to one’s ability to speak honestly about personal strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on a host of inspirations in his life, from ancient Greek literature to Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, Guy describes his journey to self-discovery. For him, true success derives from our ability to reflect and learn from our backgrounds -- the real story of failures and achievements. Through introspection, we enable ourselves to traverse the long chain of incremental steps that lead to achieving goals that truly matter. Here is a transcript of Stew and Guy’s conversation.

In this episode of the African Tech Roundup podcast, Oliver Sauter— Co-founder and Head of Strategy, Product & Operations at https://WorldBrain.io, joins Andile Masuku and Musa Kalenga for a meandering conversation that explores the link between the trend towards interoperability and idealised notions of individual data ownership. As Africa grapples with the reality of large swathes of its population being either digitally "invisible" or completely oblivious to the commercial value of the personal data they are palming off so freely, Oliver, Musa and Andile discuss how interoperability might contribute towards private citizens wielding control and commercial agency over their personal data. Also, listen in to hear why Oliver and the rest of the team at WorldBrain have chosen to embrace the non-mainstream "stewardship-ownership" model of corporate guardianship - as unpacked in Armin Steuernagel's recent TEDxZurich talk(http://bit.ly/stewardownership) - as they attempt to solve the global fake news problem. And heads up— look out for an unexpected conversation rabbit hole regarding "genetically modified organics".
