Today's topic: The Facts and Myths about overpopulation. Emotional Load: High A number of times "Burn in Hell" phrase was used: at least three. This episode went serious and quite dark really fast but it's hard not to get emotional when you talk about "The Cycle of Misery" and XIX-century Irish Potato Famine that island's population from 6,5  to barely 4 million. Tune in to listen to our discussion about Overpopulation and make up your own mind if we (the humanity) really are in serious danger. What is a Demographic Crunch and which countries are currently facing underpopulation? Is population growth correlated with emancipation and education of women? Why do we need to stop "blaming the poor" for overpopulation? How will we survive when the population hits 10 billion? Are you a wizard or a prophet? And are we really running out of resources on our planet? Let us know what you think about it and drop us a message at www.the5options.com!        

One of THOSE episodes ahead ;-) Today we are discussing a variety of bizarre topics: Why do people fall for nonsense inspirational and motivational quotes? Is sterilizing yourself to save a planet a good idea (or an idea at all ;)? And are we way too many on this planet and will overpopulation be the end of us?Got hooked up?

We started playing together in this constellation about 1,5 years ago and rehearse in Århus once a week. The idea of playing this style of music, that we call "outlaw country", came from the yearning for playing a simpler style of music where there's room to caress the details as well as having a little fun while playing. :) Until now we've only recorded one original song but more are to come.

This episode is a special CHALLENGE EPISODE, where we dig deeper into Vega's challenge of figuring out how to feel better in a new country. Vega struggles with adapting to Denmark, (s)he believes that it is difficult to make friends or get a job if you're a foreigner. So how can (s)he make her stay here more pleasurable? Challenge Description: Hi, my challenge is that I'm an international and I find this society quite hostile towards foreign people. As if they were afraid of us, only because they don't know any different than their home culture (most often that's the case). They are beaming with this "silent" racism often. They will not insult you, but I don't see that they treat you equal. See that on the job market, see in personal life. Close to zero to get a Danish friend. Can't stand this situation, yet I'm not planning to leave DK yet. One day will fir sure, but how to make my life more pleasant til that "one day"? Thanks The 5 Options  Both Marta and Anna used to feel in a similar way about living in Denmark. For Anna's take on Denmark, it was getting together with her partner Dave who has cracked the code of making friends with Danes, that has helped a lot. While Marta has been figuring it out on her own, all the way from I can't see myself living here to this is my home <3.  Option 1: Make “Why are you here” very clear for yourself Option 2: Make an effort to understand Danes and the Danish Culture We recommend a book "The Xenophobe's Guide to the Danes" and three great articles from a friend of the show Anatolie Cantir: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/danish-culture-extreme-part-3-trust-anatolie-cantir/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/denmark-unhappiest-expats-happiest-country-world-part-cantir-1f/ https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/denmark-unhappiest-expats-happiest-country-world-part-cantir/ Option 3: Find the things you like and are grateful for Here we propose a 30 days challenge of finding at least one thing per day that you really appreciate about Denmark. Option 4: Influence what you can and embrace the rest Option 5: Make it as pleasant as you possibly can (do as much as possible of the stuff that you love doing) Artist of the week Gregory Boyd "Beating on a drum" How to find Gregory?

This episode is a special CHALLENGE EPISODE, where we dig deeper into the very challenging challenge of decision making. Elena reached out to us with some very big questions related to her life and we've done our best in guiding her on how to make sure that she makes the best possible decision for her! Challenge Description: Hello girls, I have been in Denmark for almost 5 years, and now, finishing my bachelor, I need to think what to do further. It’s been a quite rough and thoughtful period. So, the challenge I have is that I don’t know if I want to stay in Denmark, move back home, to Romania, or try another country. Also, I would like to continue my education with a master degree, but it is difficult to get into one, here in Denmark, because I am lacking some courses. And therefore, I don’t know if I should keep fighting to get into a master, here or somewhere else, or if I should just look for a job and hope that I find one.  Let me know what you think, this would be interesting.  Have a great day! The 5 Options  Marta has shared that she's a Recovering Decision Making Struggler and she shares the 5 pearls of wisdom that have helped her in making decisions: Wisdom 1: Ultimately there IS no wrong decision (though definitely a decision can FEEL wrong) Wisdom 2: Chances are that you already know the answer, you just need to get quiet enough to be able to hear it Wisdom 3: Manage your mind before your mind manages you (your mind is not always the best advisor as it can be steered by fears and doubts) Wisdom 4: Your body can't lie to you (feel into your decision) I find two ways really interesting for practising feeling into what is the right choice for me right now. One is expanding vs contracting https://www.marieforleo.com/2017/02/decision-making/ The other one is muscle testing. https://blog.mindvalley.com/muscle-testing/?utm_source=google Wisdom 5: Listen to wise people yet listen to yourself even more Here is the full Recovering Decision-Making Struggler's Guide on Making the Right and Wrong decisions Artist of the week Louise Dal - Fundament ------------- INTRO and jingles for the show produced by Supermoon Music Recording Studio Did You Enjoy The Episode?

Welcome to the Season 5 premiere where a lot has happened! We kickstart the episode with solving Brandon's challenge who is struggling with finding a job in Denmark that would fit his skills and education. Gretee Eluri, our Danish job market expert, gives Brandon couple of tips but in a last-minute twist of events, we find out that he just got hired - so hopefully, he'll get back to us and let us know what really worked in his particular case! Afterwards, we interview a local Danish musician Joakim Lykke who has released his debut single "Born Naked" in November 2019 and is currently on a tour, giving concerts in... people's leaving rooms! If you are interested in having Joakim over, check out the notes below - he still has some dates left and his concerts are free of charge! We continue the show with revisiting psychic predictions that we've discussed at the beginning of 2019 (Ep 103: Why humans keep on predicting future if they are so often wrong: Predictions for 2019) and try to see how many of them came true. It turns out that the weirdest one actually happens - penguins have indeed invaded the cities and there was a sex scandal in Royal Family! - points to Nicky, the celebrity psychic! Last but not least, we talk about LinkedIn Local Aarhus, that Anna has finally attended (Marta is a regular ;)). It turns out that most people have chosen the same goals for 2020 and we wonder why is that. Tune in and listen to the brand new season opening! If you want to let us know what you think, remember to visit https://the5options.com and drop us a message! ------------- Song of the week: "Born Naked" by Joakim Lykke   Joakim Lykke is a wild but also brittle and fragile, 41-year-old with lots of musical experience. He sees himself as a performer, frontman and singer - and has more than 300 live gigs behind him - with all the insight and experience it provides. He sings - but also plays the guitar and writes his own songs. The influences are bands like Counting Crows, +LIVE+, Matchbox Twenty, R.E.M and Kashmir, all of whom, to some extent, are present in Joakim's songwriting. In November 2019 Joakim has released the first single “Born Naked” from his upcoming debut album. He is currently playing his #WinterTour2020, which consists of 15 booked “stuekoncerter” where he performs intimate solo-concerts in peoples living rooms. He is planning to do 15 shows from January 1st. thru March 30th - and I still have open dates for people to book. Concerts are free of charge so grab your chance today and book Joakim here: booking@joakimlykke.dk     Find Joakim Lykke here: Facebook: www.facebook.com/joakimlykke Instagram: www.instagram.com/joakimlykke Website: www.joakimlykke.dk Soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/joakimlykkeofficial Youtube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqJ8k7rkfld3rO1_UC2hYw Karrierekanonen: www.dr.dk/musik/karrierekanonen/artist/joakim-lykke Royal Beer: www.royalbeer.dk/bands/joakim-lykke
