When does self improvement turn into an unhealthy obsession?

What is the difference between, meditation, prayer and compulsive rumination?

What makes alternative Medicine, eastern philosophy and non linear thinking so attractive to people feeling uprooted in a materialistic society?

Why do 2 out of three people have a problem with over-consumption or impulsive or obsessive behaviors?

What do sleep and dreams have to do with living well?
What's the difference between getting well and feeling healthy?

These questions have fascinated me some time and I have ruminated on them for way too long. So far, I have not been able to come to a conclusion. 

So exploring these Questions in the form of a podcast is an attempt at summarizing my timid conclusions and asking for input from people who might get engaged in the discussion.

Are we determined to live out our lives due to luck and circumstance or are we masters of our own fate?

When do you try harder and when do you stop trying so hard?

Who is to tell, for now, I will try to upload the first few episodes and watch what happens.

Ruminations turning into meditations. A beginning of movement. I'm feeling hungry. Munchies. Om nom nom.
