Small Steps to Wellbeing
Because life is complicated enough and information is everywhere Small Steps is aimed at providing life relevant information in digestible episodes of only a few minutes at a time. Each episode also includes an experiment that can be tried out quickly, and replicated in most environments. I'm not trying to provide definitive answers, but want to stimulate listeners to explore multiple alternatives that resonate in their own search for understanding and purpose in life. Small Steps takes inspiration from my own experiences as a human experimenting with and exploring life, but also draws on my professional life as a walking therapist in the Netherlands and my readings into a variety of perspectives from eastern philosophy, stoicism and modern day perspectives regarding what it may mean to lead a fulfilling and human centered existence.
