The Hypnotist: Losing Weight in Harmony and Alignment
A disciplined approach to losing weight is not uncommon in the new year, but does it give rise to a feeling of inner conflict and resistance? If you feel coerced into losing weight, perhaps this more harmonious approach might help, using the analogy of a Venn diagram to find the cross-over between rigid self-discipline and enjoyment in order to reduce feelings of impossible expectations.

The Business of Film: Mufasa – The Lion King, Better Man & Carry-On
James Cameron-Wilson celebrates box office soaring 113%, though he can't be dragged to #1 Sonic the Hedgehog 3. He finds the animation in the photo-realistic #2 Mufasa: The Lion King astonishing. A prequel and sequel modelled on Butch Cassidy it is wonderful, being both moving and very powerful. Better Man is a musical memoir of Robbie Williams with him narrating, though on screen he is represented as a chimpanzee. It's very original and inventive and is surprisingly engaging and moving. On Netflix James recommended Carry-On, a thriller with Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman which sucks you into the terrifying action.

The Bigger Picture: The political economy of time, the new "New Right" and the economic case against EVs - 02 Jan 25
As 2025 begins, Professor Tim Evans takes the opportunity to discuss the political economy of seasonality and time and reflect upon the importance of time, which some political regimes have tried to amend. He feels we are starting to see the birth of a new "New Right", 45 years on from Reagan and Thatcher. While Milei, Trump and Farage have many different ideas, it appears that they are consulting each other, which might make 2025 a rollercoaster year. He also considers the unintended consequences of the push to electric vehicles, with a divide growing between those who have driveways (and cheap charging) and those who do not. If the US brings down the price of oil, the attraction for EVs will decline and further embolden those who oppose the rush to Net Zero.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What might 2025 hold?
Russ Mould of A J Bell reckons the most significant number of 2024 was 193, the number of global interest rate cuts. For the most part, markets got what they wanted last year. But at the end, bond yields were telling a different message, one which equity markets didn't believe. As for the UK market, yes it's shrinking in terms of listings but it is relatively cheap despite a decent yield, lots of buybacks and M&A activity. Looking at the top 10 performers is yet another sign that investors should always consider what is unloved and he reminds us that 2/3 of FTSE100 earnings come from overseas.

Steve Caplin kicks off the year by reminding us it is 40 years since the first mobile phone call: but do you remember the celebrity who made it? Motorised skis will get you up a mountain. Apple's AirTags could help you locate missing luggage. A Chinese spherical security robot put Steve in mind of The Prisoner. Chat robots add video but don't impress. You can play Xbox games on an Amazon Fire Stick. There's an electronic belt. And there's a roundup of some of the weirdest patent applications in 2024.

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Should leadership be based on strategy or circumstance?
Leadership inspires and is transformative in character: it's hard to see how reacting to circumstances can achieve this outcome. The leadership given by Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate each year on 25th December, has provided both inspiration and transformation throughout the past two thousand years. Oh that the Church and our politicians could learn from that example! Background music: 'Carol of the Bells' by Quincas Moreira

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis to Lose Weight without being Good
The challenge of losing weight is often accompanied by a set of self-imposed rules, and such an approach is an invitation to feel 'good' or 'bad' about it. Breaking the rules can become or source of joy leading to binges, and rigid diets can easily lead to internal conflicts. This is defined as 'polarity responding' by hypnotists, and Adam Cox helps by explaining how this adopted morality is all a bit artificial.
