Episode #56 - Searching for housing in Sweden

Jag pratar om Skandinaviens alkoholkultur och erfarenheter jag haft med alkohol och Sverige. Jag pratar om dokumentären "Jävla Pappa" som sänds på svt nu. 

Niklas, en deprimerad ung man, och hans alkoholiserade far, Leif, står vilsna inför livet och sin relation. De gör som män alltid gör när de inte kan prata om sina känslor. De försöker bygga något. Ganska snart går det åt helvete, både med relationen och den husbil de försöker bygga, och de tvingas konfrontera sina känslor. Niklas skildrar en komplicerad familjerelation med både ömhet och humor.

Jag rekommenderar att ni tittar på den:

This podcast goes to my students and podcast listeners.

The greatest happiness in life is to support others in their development and evolution. 

The greatest reward is to know that you can help someone move towards growth.

The greatest gift in life is to be selfless and trust your gut instinct.

I am so excited to have you, my students, benefit from the processes I offer, and I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this trajectory of life.

Enjoy the podcast; it's not about me, it's about you. Yes, you who are reading the text now, yup, YOU. 

Be well and feel good!
