EP1: The culture of productivity (Voices of Denmark)
In this episode of the Feelin’ Alive podcast, we’re talking about the culture of being productive with host, Miriam, and today’s guest, Marcus Tolstrup. How do young people navigate today’s pressure of productivity? There’s an increasing pressure on young people today to achieve and to be ambitious, perceiving all aspects of daily life for young people: being a good student, a productive worker, a present friend and so on. These themes are explored in the first episode of the Feelin’ Alive podcast, as we ask the question: What does it mean to take time for yourself? Shouldn’t all time be for you, or is time owned by others’ expectations?
