    How to create a deep connection with self

    How to create a deep connection with self
    Tarun is the founder of Adios and Venus. Adios is a mental wellbeing company that enables you to improve your clarity of thought and peace of mind through a regular habit of Contemplation.    If you live your life largely looking outward and not inward, you may not create a deep connection with yourself, so you may make decisions that seem exciting in the short run but may not be right for you in the long run. A regular habit of Contemplation on the Adios principles keeps your connection with yourself strong and you can make the right decisions by using your Adioscope - your personal microscope for life.   Venus enables you to find a meaningful relationship by finding yourself first. The Venus approach is that a meaningful relationship does not start with finding the right person. It starts with finding yourself. It starts with becoming the right person.    Venus has a three step process:   1. Find Yourself 2. Find a Friend 3. Find a Partner To start your journey with Adios, please go to .   To find a meaningful partner for yourself, please go to .

    Long reads

    Long reads
    We’ve all felt the lure of the short, sweet read, one of those slim books you can finish in a few hours, maybe over a hot cup of tea. But what about the books that may take weeks, even months, to read? The door stoppers, the heavy weights, the long reads. Think Dickens, Tolstoy, and George Eliot, think Hilary Mantel, David Foster Wallace, and Donna Tartt. We dive into The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann's 226,000 book set in a sanitorium in the Swiss Alps in which not much happens. What did we think of it? Should you try it? And if not, what long books do we recommend?

    We're joined by Toby Brothers of the London Literary Salon and pod-regular Phil Chaffee as we discover the pleasures and perils that come with a book that takes weeks, even months, to read.
