Welcome to the Lebenspraxis Podcast, hosted by Joseph Bartz.The Lebenspraxis, or life practice, is about living a life of purpose and action. In this podcast, we talk about how we actively live and teach the Lebenspraxis. We introduce and discuss the physical and cognitive components that support our practice. We explore how to live a good life. To discover the infinity in everything. To take responsibility for what we do. To get up every day and look at things with eyes wide open. To care. This is how we approach things. This is the practice. To receive direct coaching from us and to explore our work further, please visit: https://josephbartz.de

Can we escape the TECHNOCRATIC death?
Are you on a constant hunt for productivity hacks, only to feel lost and unfulfilled?
