The Charles Kovess Show

In this week's Episode, I recall and remember Anzac Day and why we in Australia remember it, honour it and indeed make it a public holiday on 25 April each year. Anzac Day is remembered because it was all about a fight for freedom way back in 1915, on the 25th of April, in 1915, in Gallipoli, part of Turkey.  Why is it worth fighting for Freedom? Would you give your life to fight for freedom?...

In this week's Episode, I explore and consider why we hold onto 'stuff' that we should be letting go.  I explore how we trap ourselves in our current situation and limit our opportunities for growth and learning.  Why do we hold on so long?  Why don't we move on?  This is part of the self-awareness journey, being able to answer difficult questions like this, crucial questions l...

I gotta be free. I just gotta be free. Daring t...

Living with useless fears is like having an anchor out on your boat while you are trying to sail. Or, it's like swimming in the ocean and dragging a bucket behind you, which...

In this week's episode, my big idea is to explore perspectives on reality. On what is 'real'.  On what it means to be 'realistic'.  Each one of us attaches different meanings to any given event. It's quite remarkable.  That meaning is what each one of us calls reality, but it actually isn't. When you embrace this idea, you can change your experience of your life....

Demi M...
