🇬🇷 Γνωρίζατε ότι υπάρχει τρόπος να δουλέψετε και τα δύο ημισφαίρια του εγκεφάλου σας (αναλυτικό και δημιουργικό) ταυτόχρονα; Μπορείτε να το κάνετε αυτό μαθαίνοντας μια γλώσσα που έχει σύμβολα, όπως κινέζικα ή αραβικά. Παρακολουθήστε να μάθετε γιατί 🧠

Η ομιλία ήταν για άτομα άνω των 55 χρόνων αλλά και για νεότερες γενιές🧓 Εξηγήσαμε γιατί είναι καλό να συνεχίζουμε να δουλεύουμε το σώμα και το μυαλό μας, και με ποιους τρόπους θα τo πετύχουμε📊 Ευχαριστούμε την @pyiorka για την διοργάνωση, την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση για την χρηματοδότηση και τον Δήμο Αραδίππου για τον χώρο.

Στις 5 Μαρτίου, ο πολύ καλός

Στις 5 Μαρτίου, ο πολύ καλός μου φίλος @nisolomou με κάλεσε μαζί με άλλους 2 ταλαντούχους συγγραφείς στο μπαράκι @stodromobar να μιλήσουμε για την πορεία και τα όνειρα μας που έγιναν πραγματικότητα επειδή συνδέονται με το νέο αριστούργημα του, το μυθιστόρημα Ονειροδρόμοι από την @armida.books 📙

Η ομιλία ήταν σαν μορφή ποντκαστ και στιγμιότυπα έρχονται σύντομα. Προς το παρόν ακούστε το σημερινό επεισόδιο μου (13 - Προσάρμοση στα Δεδομένα) στο Time To Think podcast για να ακούσετε γιατί ήταν επιτυχία η ομιλία γενικά. Λινκ στο προφίλ μου🔗

Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, P

Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Politics, Literature, History, Media and Business✨
°
Many doubted that these broad subjects can be connected and kept telling me: "Why are you mixing all these disciplines? You have to niche down to something specific."😱
°
Tell that to the third book that is being edited and the next two already being written (all from different genres), the diverse workshops and new ones soon to be announced, as well the highly-reviewed content creations on multiple subjects. Because there is a common threat between them - Humans! If you don't research and study our species using a holistic approach, then you are missing crucial elements in your understanding🔎
°
As for the Greek speakers, listen to the first episode of the new "Time To Think" podcast where I elaborate on why being a Generalist is better than being a Specialist and then enjoy the rest of the episodes if you agree on being a polymath🎙️

💥I had a blast giving a lecture on "The Hero Within" chapter from my newest book "Back To The Roots" on Saturday to give people an idea of my book at @mindbodyspiritcyprus
°
I'm grateful that majority of the audience were women because the warrior and hero archetypes are usually associated with men but I showcased to the participants that women can walk the warrior's path and be heroines in their lives as well♀️
°
Most of them understood that even exercising or taking yoga classes makes them walk this path already and my message resonated with them. As a result, passing through my table to have more insightful discussions and get the book📙
°
Special thanks to my Shifu @lindsey12wei for the "Washing the red dust" symbolism (picture 6). It added depth to the martial virtues and cultivation of inner qualities I wanted to elaborate on🔴
°
Lastly, many people wanted to attend the lecture but couldn't make it. So, this will be the first of the video lectures I'll start posting on my YouTube channel. Subscribe there to stay up to date because more are coming soon. Link is in the bio🔗
