Streetphilosophy roams the streets of Berlin to find answers to philosophical questions. In this episode Ronja von Rönne asks: What is happiness? How do I please myself while also pleasing others? And how can I realise my desires?

Live your Desires! But How?

The pandemic, the climate emergency ... Everything seems extremely fragile at the moment. But is it possible to grow with crises? If so, what is the key? How can adaptability and courage make you more resilient?

Be Antifragile!

The solution to having your plans upset? Don't make plans

Working to live or living to work. In a capitalist society characterised by ever-increasing mechanisation, what meaning can we give to our daily grind? Ronja von Rönne finds out by meeting lawyers, circus performers and old-time taxi drivers.

Living for Work

Loss challenges us as human beings. Losing loved-ones, losing our independence or even the thought of losing our lives can be very difficult. How can we live fully and learn from the pain of loss without it taking over our lives? Ronja Von Rönne finds answers by talking to an author, a boxer, a visually impaired gallerist and a 70 year-old techno DJ.

Learning to Lose

What if our lives were governed by the supernatural? Why do so many people feel the urge to connect with gods, angels and energies? The occult doesn't have a great reputation, but how bad is it really? In this episode, Jan searches for answers to his metaphysical doubts.

Is lazy good? Ronja meets ex-football player Kevin Pannewitz, who was about to break through into the Bundesliga, but was kicked out by the clubs for lack of discipline. Today he plays in the district league and is a happy father. Does he still feel like he missed something because of his lack of work ethic? Laziness can have meaning: it's a form of resistance, says philosopher Marilena Berends. It's a radical act against our high-speed society and the never-ending drive for production and growth.

In Europe, the last primary forests are found almost exclusively in the mountains in the east or south-east of the continent. These virgin forests have never been exploited or cut down, and have remained as they have always been. Few studies have been done on this forests, which are presumably havens of biodiversity. We go on a research trip to the Dinaric Alps in Albania.
