In this episode Julia first wants to make sure we don't mix up our term of desires with needs and necessities, because it surely happens in life. Material stuff does not give lasting satisfaction, the thrill will fade quickly and we want more stuff soon. But experiences have different effects on us.
She will introduce a new way of thinking about our needs, that will help us think about our lives differently later on. Our social circle and communication cushioning is a park around the Tower of our Needs we will build in our imagination.
She will guide you through all the floors and what they include, how they expand your life and your possibilities. They are the reasons we live, and we get up each morning.
We are also thinking creatures who can get motivated when we know reasons. It boosts internal drive and cooperation when employees, students, even children know the reasons of decisions and actions!
We are parts of our communities and we need that to stay healthy. But we are the only species on earth that can cooperate in the millions without knowing each other and we do that through our cultural stories. With that we are given stereotypes that are cultural shortcuts and can be very dangerous. On top of that Julia will talk about the issues between generations that can be regarded as prejudice, ageism; judging just by the year someone was born in. It is dividing and hurting our more important issues and causes! Racism, political injustice, cultural biases, these are all the issues we need to step up against in unison.
We hope it makes you think deeper about these issues.
