Sophus launches the podcast with a deep-dive into the human mind, this engine of chaos and expanse of possibility we all carry around inside us. The episode begins with a reminder-taken from, of all places, the British tax collection agency-to marvel at the clouds and allow ourselves to be stunned by volcanoes. And it ends with a walk through the woods of southern Italy, in the company of a dog and three Paleolithic teenagers.Hosted and written by Sophus Helle Sound editing by Simone Nystrup-LarsenEdited by Andreas Lindinger SaxildFind out more at sophushelle.com/monkeymindMonkey Mind Combining wit and wisdom, silliness and seriousness, the podcast Monkey Mind by Sophus Helle takes the audience on a weekly jaunt through the jungle of the mind.

It tells stories that are designed to make the listener chuckle, then reflect, drawn from both the host's own life and from the deep well of history.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I had flown to Canada to start a new life, but after I packed up my life in the UK, I felt like I was always moving on, never feeling like my feet were firmly on the ground. I wanted to be free of the nagging fear of pitching my ideas and the voice of self-doubt. #2 I had gone looking for wilderness, and now it had found me in the desert of southern California. The desert is beautiful, peaceful, and uncluttered. It is a world that is regenerating daily with the slow, steady rhythm of the earth. #3 I had first met Natalie in my early twenties, when I moved in with her in London. We were both temps, and we lived on a shoestring much of the time. But we tried our best to make it feel like a home. #4 I had met Lou and his friends, affable Americans from the Midwest, fellow expats who enjoyed a camaraderie built upon our shared appreciation for what felt new and exciting in a city that was aging well. They had created a life in Joshua Tree.

In una cornice borghese incarnata dalla cittadina di Faenza, un giovane poco acuto si invaghisce della moglie del suo principale. La ragazza si lascia sedurre, approfittando con malizia dello spiccato interesse suscitato sull'amante. Lei, infatti, non prova alcun sentimento nei suoi confronti, e farà di tutto per renderlo geloso dei successi del marito, finendo per trascinarlo in una spirale di profonda solitudine... Alfredo Oriani (1852 - 1909) è stato uno scrittore e poeta italiano. Dopo aver trascorso gli anni della giovinezza in solitudine ed essersi laureato in giurisprudenza, Alfredo Oriani inizia a dedicarsi alla scrittura. Già nel suo romanzo d'esordio, "Memorie inutili", traspare la sua ideologia che vede convivere pacificamente e in modo indivisibile la figura dell'artista con quella del pensatore e del sociologo. L'opera completa di Oriani venne fatta ristampare da Benito Mussolini in persona in seguito alla Prima guerra mondiale, sebbene il suo pensiero fosse apprezzato e in parte condiviso anche da Antonio Gramsci. Tra gli altri scritti di Alfredo Oriani ricordiamo "Oro, incenso e mirra", "La rivolta ideale", "Il nemico" e "Gelosia".
