The Hypnotist: The Calm and Empowered Transition to Retirement
For those who experienced the transition to 'retirement' during the pandemic lock-downs and working from home, it probably did feel calm and empowering (notwithstanding anxiety over the virus itself) — however, for many people it can feel more like a cliff-edge. This episode helps you to let go of the stresses and anxiety of the workplace and plan for that new chapter in your life: it's called 'future pacing'. The Christmas/New Year break is a great time to build a compelling version of your future.

The Bigger Picture: What does 2024 hold in store, domestically and internationally?
We go stargazing with Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University as he looks ahead to 2024. What will happen politically in the UK when so many people feel that our politicians have so little idea about the realities of daily life? On the international front, the world has turned so much darker in 2023 with so many danger spots around the world. What will the future hold, particularly when politics is polarising in so many places? What will the result of the shifting sands of demographics be and how will the young find meaning and success in a world that has become so challenging for them?

The Business of Film: Godzilla Minus One, Rustin & Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

The Business of Film: Godzilla Minus One, Rustin & Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
James Cameron-Wilson reports on the UK box office. Takings have dropped 25% but Wonka still rules. Godzilla Minus One is #2, a rare foreign language subtitled movie to ride high in the charts, though taking only £817,000. James found it a decent monster movie but no more. On Netflix, he thought Rustin, the real story of the gay civil rights activist, interesting despite much overacting. He was delighted, however, by Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, which he reckoned not just the best animated movie of the year but one of the best movies of 2023 full stop.

Apple is to update security to reduce iPhone theft. 3D portraits go portable. The missing space tomato has been found. Cardboard can be recycled into a polystyrene alternative. And Hyundai's tyres can come with built-in snow chains, though only in video form so far.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Themes to watch for 2024

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Themes to watch for 2024
Russ Mould of A J Bell suggests the themes investors should watch out for in 2024. Equity markets seem optimistic while the gilts market – with an inverted yield curve – suggests a recession is likely and the commodity markets seem completely confused. Debt, however, is the biggest issue in the world, creating a headache for central banks. China, France and, soon, the US will all be using 20% of tax income for meeting interest costs. Scary enough in itself, if there's a recession, tax income will drop while welfare payments will soar. In summary, whatever has driven the markets in the past 10 years may not work for the 10 years, but there will always be opportunities.

Thought for the Week: Respect for Others, not Solidarity, is what matters

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Respect for Others, not Solidarity, is what matters
Christmas is with us again, celebrating the birth of Jesus over two thousand years ago. This year, however, it is overshadowed by the horrific events in the Middle East: so our Thought for Christmas includes a reference to Bishop Steven of Oxford looking across the millenia in his recent address (see link below), and our comments reflect the contrast between the yearning for solidarity (whether national or otherwise) and the failure to show respect for others, however different they may be.
