This week's guest on Being Human is facilitator and author Corena Chase.
Corena is co-author of The Five Lost Superpowers: Why We Lose Them and How to Get Them Back.
Corena believes that everyone has superpowers when they are a child. While we tend to lose track of them as we grow up, they’re always there, right below the surface, ready for us to reactivate them and fully manifest our human potential.

This week's guest on Being Human is intuitive healer, mentor and life teacher Fiona Arrigo.
What I found so compelling about Fiona is her profound belief that we can heal ourselves. With so many of us right now - including me sometimes - seeking external sources for our wellbeing, she's part of a growing movement of people rediscovering their innate healing potential.
On this basis, she has developed her healing method The Arrigo Programme, where she offers a multi-layered approach to anything from anxiety and depression to relationship issues, chronic pain, or simply a feeling of losing our way.
We talk:

This week's guest on Being Human is ecological economist and writer Tim Jackson.
Tim's view is that we need to give up our obsession with GDP and focus instead on human progress. He envisions a return to a focus on virtue and a re-prised role for institutions to integrate the desires of individuals with their social obligations. 
His book Post Growth is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle our connection with what it means to be human.

This week's guest on Being Human is Marina Efaimoglou. She has an interesting life story, to say the least.
Whilst still in her twenties she was running her own investment firm having survived a cancer with 25% survival odds. The scare caused her re-evaluate her life. She later received a second diagnosis. This time, she was able to heal purely through natural methods.
Her health quest led her to create the Euphoria Retreat in the Taygetus Mountains near Sparta in Greece. But it’s not all salads and massages, at its core is a spiritual inquiry into why we’re here.

This week's guest on Being Human is educator, mental health counsellor, yoga teacher and co-founder of the Center for Trauma and Embodiment (CFTE), Jenn Turner.
Trauma is a pervasive aspect of all human experience. Understandably, it's one that no one wants to talk about, and yogis are no exception.
Jenn's work is piercing this taboo in the yoga world. She's learning lessons about dealing with the impacts of buried pain that we can all apply in our lives, no matter our walk of life.
We talk:

Professor Keen has been on a mission to expose the failings of mainstream economic theory and policy.
An economics dissident and author of 2001’s Debunking Economics, he warned about the 2008 economic crisis long before it happened.

Why Neoclassical economic models are fantasiesHow nations manage to keep their ‘zombie economies’ goingHow economists are not prepared for the looming climate crisis How those wary of "watermelon" communistic greens have reason to be fearfulA realistic model of the economyA new politics to de-zombify our economiesLinks:
