Organizerās description
Make new friends and discuss a new topic every week - we rotate between big world issues and daily life. This weekās topic: In the legendary story of *The Odyssey*, the hero survives brutal storms and monsters through sheer grit and clever thinking. Yet, he is also a king with a powerful goddess on his side. This classic journey mirrors a modern dilemma: are we the true authors of our own journey through positive thinking, or are our paths ultimately decided by unearned advantages and environments we've grown up into since childhood? ⢠If mindset is so powerful, why do millions of hardworking, optimistic people remain trapped in a sea of poverty and adversity? ⢠Can external interventions actually help a person if they have a negative mindset? ⢠Where does this inner compass come from - is it inside us, or is it entirely shaped by our childhood environment? *Skip the small talk and join a room of global minds and cosmopolitans for our weekly conversation lounge. Find meaningful and international perspectives on modern culture, relationships, and society. No expertise needed - just an open mind and your life experiences. Come for the perspectives. Stay for the connections.* šø THE VIBE * Curated Conversations: Thoughtful, intriguing, and deep. It's more about our personal journeys and lived experiences, less about academic point-scoring. * Cinematic Backdrop: Hosted in a moody lounge perfect for late-night drinks and cozy conversation.
