From Work-Life Balance to Fluid Integration

Follow the Rabbit is a (video) podcast that invites you into the messy, interconnected world of cultural research. In Season 1 we used Toby Shorin's essay Life after Lifestyle to explore cultural rabbit holes, connect unexpected dots, and uncover insights that shape our world, all while working with the garage door open. In Season 2 we go even deeper into the current re-emergence of the third-place concept. In this conversation, Johannes and Igor explore the intersection of places, spaces, and holistic well-being. They discuss the depiction of health and wellness in popular culture, such as TV shows like 'Nine Perfect Strangers' and 'Goop Lab.' They also examine the emergence of spaces that offer a holistic approach to work and life, such as Slowness and 180 House. They highlight the shift from work-life balance to a more fluid integration of work and personal life, as well as the importance of social connections for overall health and longevity.
