LDN Talks at Night: Politics - WTF!
July 26, 2017 · 12:00 pm · 3:00 pm
93 Feet East
‘POLITICS - WTF!'

Brexit. Trump. Corbyn. Populists. What the F***!

Interested in finding out how our political world is getting overturned, what's behind it and what might be next?

In this talk, Prof Matt Goodwin, regular contributor to BBC, Sky News and author of the Political Book of the Year, will take you on an a fact-packed political rollercoaster and a deep dive into the data on what is really going on in this unique moment in history.

Are populists here to stay? How are our political loyalties being reshaped? Is democracy really doomed? What sinister trends should keep us up at night? And how does your own political compass compare to those who are fleeing the mainstream?

Whether a politics junkie or an average observer, this interactive talk will make the current explosion of political change accessible to all.

You'll leave with a more sophisticated understanding of how politics is changing, a stronger understanding of the longer-term trends that are changing our society and a firmer grasp of what might be around the corner.

In partnership with Specialist Speakers. http://www.specialistspeakers.com/?p=8530

Venue: 93 Feet East, Brick Lane

Doors: 7pm / Talk starts: 7.30pm.

MCR Talks at Night: Is The Art of Conversation Dying?
July 26, 2017 · 12:00 pm · 3:00 pm
Texture MCR
Is conversation a dying art in the digital age?

What does the word ‘conversation’ mean to you – a face-to-face interaction or an online exchange? Has the digital age redefined what we understand a conversation to be? And what implications does that have for the future of interpersonal communication?

You’d expect different answers to these questions from different generations – baby boomers, Gen X, Y, etc. But what better way to get to grips with these issues than through a Funzing talk (and discussion), facilitated by our speaker Andrew Thorp?

At 54 years of age Andrew Thorp is firmly in the Baby Boomer camp but he’s an avid user of digital platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. However, as a renowned storyteller and communication skills trainer he believes passionately in the value of face-to-face conversation (“breathing the same air”).

After exploring some of the most important principles of effective conversations, Andrew will invite you to voice your views on one of the more relevant topics of our age. Do you share the concerns of those careers advisors and employers who see this as a shortcoming in the younger generation? Do you agree with authors and academics like Sherry Turkle (Reclaiming Conversation; the Power of Talk in the Digital Age) who claim that we have allowed technology to play too dominant a role in our communication behaviours? Or is it just a natural evolution and nothing to worry about?

Expect and lively and stimulating evening.

Venue: Texture MCR, Northern Quarter

Doors: 7pm / Talk starts: 7.30pm.

LDN Talks at Night: Pursue Your Goals & Stay Healthy
July 26, 2017 · 12:00 pm · 2:30 pm
Number 177 Bar & Kitchen
Nothing worth having comes easy. Great achievements take dedication and even obsession but how to make sure we don’t burn out? How do we keep our life and health in check while giving 100% to reach our goals?

In this talk Ru Wikmann, fitness coach and tech entrepreneur, will explore the fascinating concept of unity of opposites and how to keep sight of the bigger picture while pursuing your dreams.

Many philosophers e.g. Heraclitus, Hegel and Carl Jung have held that presumed polarities in thought do not exclude one another but are actually necessary conditions for the assertion of their opposites (coincidentia oppositorum). Ru will attempt to consolidate their teachings and explore how to apply it to practice while also learning from his own athletic and business endeavours.

You will discover:

- how thinking “macro” and “micro” can help you manage stress

- how to avoid feeling overwhelmed and thrive under pressure

- how to make sure your health doesn’t suffer at times of intense work

- how the right type of exercise can keep a smile on your face

- how meditation, breath work and psychedelics can help you find peace

Ru Wikmann has been nicknamed “The Sculptor” through his work as a personal trainer. He overcame bone disease as a child to dedicate his life to fitness and later become Miami Pro European champion and WBFF Pro, both highly respected accolades in the fitness industry. Ru runs his own podcast Shredded Brainiac (http://shreddedbrainiac.com) and is in the process of building Fitswap (http://fitswapapp.com), a mobile app to connect people who want to get fit with fitness enthusiasts through barter and skill-swapping and help anyone to find a workout buddy.
