Are you on a constant hunt for productivity hacks, only to feel lost and unfulfilled? Could it be that the true hack lies not in working faster, but in discovering the deeper meaning of work and productivity? Join me on a thought-provoking journey as we challenge the norms of technocratic societies and explore the contrast between the immediacy of hunter-gatherer societies and our modern dependence on money. We'll probe the reasons why work needs to be meaningful and why we have this inherent need to be productive. This episode is as much about societal introspection as it is about personal reflection.

What if you could unlock the secrets of movement and rehabilitation in a way that empowers you to live your life to the fullest? Join me for a captivating conversation with David Grey, the founder of David Grey Rehab, and a master in the art of movement rehabilitation.
David's work is used by tens of thousands of people worldwide, from pro athletes and coaches to seniors wanting to get out of pain.
David opens up about his personal journey of healing from injuries and pain, sharing how his experiences led to the development of his unique system. We explore the principles of movement and breathing, debunking the myth of fighting tension with more tension. Instead, David provides insights into biomechanics and the crucial role of moving in an integrated way. In the same vein, we discuss the significance of mobilizing the rib cage through breath work, as well as the transformative impact of embracing a bio-psycho-social model of care.
Finally, we dive deep into David's joint mobility program and the importance of the mind-body connection. David also sheds light on his online programs and workshops. One especially known one is his program designed to assist people with foot issues like plantar fasciitis, Achilles issues, shin splints, and ankle issues. No matter your age or ability, David's unique approach to movement and rehabilitation is set to update the way you view and experience becoming pain free and resilient.

In this Episode I am joined by Soisci Porchetta. A former Muay Thai fighter, teacher, and trainer now living in Tasmania, Soisci shares her unique insights into the connections between physical, mental, and spiritual practices as she continues to evolve in her own journey towards a more balanced and connected life.
Throughout our conversation, we discuss Soisci's experiences adapting her practice and teaching methods for different environments and demographics, and how her focus has shifted towards integrating meditation practices into her work. We delve into the importance of resilience, love, and spirituality in our lives, as well as the vital role teachers play in our learning journeys. We also touch on Soisci's efforts to create more gender balance in the fitness world and her thoughts on aging well through community, movement, and the power of observation.

The Morning Routine is more than just an action that we repeat daily. It's much more a frame, which allows us to take care of ourselves. This Podcast is a deep dive into the theme, discussing different versions and ideas, what you can use this precious morning time for. Are you always using it to fulfil urgent tasks or do you allow yourself to dream as well?

In this episode Joseph is introducing and commenting on passages of the book "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari. Talking about focus and making changes is our daily life, we are mostly forgetting the influence of our environment on our daily life. Diet books as well as digital diet manuals are mostly completely ignoring the socio-cultural surrounding of the reader. As humans we are in constant interaction. We should have a look at it, to address the deeper causes of our problems and to create a sustainable change. To protect our focus, we have to communicate our ideas to the outside world and develop a certain standing.
Further on Joseph takes a look at the phenomena of ADHD and children, inspired by Harris writing. ADHD is often treated badly and especially when children are diagnosed with it, there should be a closer look at their surrounding. An impossibility to concentrate is often linked to a super active nervous system, which is scanning the environment out to a state of fear. What could help to create an environment, which is encouraging children to learn and stay present in a super polluted world? What do we need as humans, to be able to get interested in something and tune into it?
For full show notes and more information, please visit: https://josephbartz.de/youtube/podcast11.html
Joseph introduces this episode by replying to a comment on focus and inner criticism and contemplates the idea of failure as a way of steering our ship. He then dives deeper into one element of the Lebenspraxis approach: the primal stressors. You will learn what primal stressors are and how exposing yourself regularly to primal stressors can support your life.

Episode 10 - Practice and Family
In this episode, Joseph talks about the connection of family and practice. Having a family doesn't necessarily mean not having time for your own practice anymore. Being present in the life of his children is very important to him and taught him a lot about effectiveness and good organisation, but also not to be too much concerned about his own growth. It is a lot about connecting the parts of your life, instead of separating them.
For full show notes and more information, please visit: https://josephbartz.de/youtube/podcast10.html
In this episode, Joseph talks about the use of smartphones and responds to a few comments on the video "How to see how many times I activated my phone", published last week in connection to episode 7. Some questions he asks: What's the role of the smartphone in our lives? What are the consequences of having/not having a phone as a young person and as an adult? Is it radical not to have a smartphone?
For full show notes and more information, please visit: https://josephbartz.de/youtube/podcast8.html
In this episode, Joseph dives further into the Lebenspraxis and gathers a few practical ideas on how to let go of hastiness, while taking the listener on a journey through Gilgamesh's epic, the story of the 3 little piglets and the Amazonian Jungle. Some topics you will learn about in this episode: how to apply the concept of carpe diem to our days; the consequences of hastiness and how to revolt against it; why reducing open loops in the communication with others is important; how to set up your phone so it does not ruin your focus; the difference between execution and planning and how this relates to training.
For full show notes and more information, please visit: https://josephbartz.de/youtube/podcast7.html
Being busy and doing good and effective work are two completely different things. This is the subject of this episode of Lebenspraxis. Joseph questions the culture of hard-working and the positive attributes associated with it and brings up examples of why working more is not necessarily good. He also introduces the concept of Minimum Effective Dose (MED), explains why showing up is not enough, and claims that devoting time to effective work and to resting and digesting information are both essential to progress in any endeavor.

In this episode, Joseph reads the email from a listener and discusses how focus and calmness are related. He talks about patience as the courage to endure; being alert and the ancient state of hunting; and the jumping harlequin mind. Joseph also raises some questions that can be related to a focus and calmness practice: Where does the sense of urgency come from? What does it mean to be a calm grown-up?

What are the different parts of the Lebenspraxis? If you have been to any of our seminars, you probably got in touch with the physical aspect of our work. However, this is just one element of the Lebenspraxis, an example of something to be approached as a practice. In this episode, we will focus on the big picture. On practice as an approach to life in general.
Life is not a thing that happens to us but a verb, something that we need to involve our whole being with. I will tell you why this is a good thing and how anything can be approached as a practice, meaning: it is not about what you do but how you do it.
We will delve into what it means to live in reciprocity with the world around us and how caring is imperative to live a good life. I also share with you what my life vision is and how this sense of focus informs all aspects of my Lebenspraxis.

This podcast is a continuation of the second episode. Here I introduce the following 3 ideas to practice your focus: reading a book; listening to a whole music album without doing anything else; practicing SROMP. For each idea, I give suggestions on how to build up your focus ability slowly. I also talk about the importance of resting and how showing up is not enough if you are not sharp anymore. Other topics I approach in this episode are: the difference between using and training your focus; where strength training and focus training meet; the difference between boredom and fatigue of concentration; finding a balance between controlling and following impulses and how this can also apply to your calendar.
