Perils & Wisdom James Leith

For Valentine's Day we look at some weird & funny relationship-related stories.

Edgar Allen Poe's gruesome short story The Cask of Amontillado is one of revenge and revolves around immurement; a slow and agonising form or torture that usually was a death sentence. We go into how and why immurements were carried out throughout history.

This time around we talk about Trials by Ordeal, usually a Medieval legal practice that was bizarre and rarely favoured justice.

In this episode we look at what smoking does to our bodies and minds and how we can overcome this to finally quit smoking.

In this episode we look at the Inner Child, its impact on our general happiness and how to help to heal it.

We continue the study of the mind, this time looking at Alfred Adler, including the inferiority complex, parenting and children.
