Hungarian Speaking Practice

How to ask and answer "How are you?" in Hungarian

➡️ Avete mai provato il senso di fallimento nella vostra vita? In che situazione? Come avete reagito? Che sensazioni avete provato? 

➡️ Che cos’è per voi la vera libertà? Vi sentite liberi nella società in cui vivete?

➡️ Vi siete mai sentiti ansiosi o stressati? O conoscete persone che soffrono di ansia? E secondo voi, da che cosa è dipeso?

In questo episodio potrete ascoltare riflessioni e citazioni al libro "Le coordinate della felicità", di Gianluca Gotto.  Ideale per chi vuole uscire dalla propria zona di confort e per chi vuole riflettere insieme a me sui concetti come il fallimento, la libertà e l'ansia, oltre che scoprire le coordinate della felicità!
