Dear Visitor,

Welcome to our magazine. We are an online, global and experimental magazine. We are also new and still evolving. We believe the world is full of interesting stories and inspiring perspectives waiting to be told. That is why we offer a platform for different ways of looking at all aspects of life. All kinds of perspectives on how we love, live and work. From how to stay healthy to successful relationships and what our views are on the best way to work.

At Perspective Living Magazine, there is always room for that outside perspective. There is space for fresh outlooks on life and inspiring stories. But our magazine also offers a refuge where we can escape from that autopilot for a while. And from that relentless, exhausting need to always take a stand. To always have to be “for or against”, to “like or dislike”, that is so common in our world today. Here, there is room for “this is my perspective, what is yours?”. Here there is a chance to listen and to pause, to think about something for a moment.

Changing our perspective just a little bit

In our day-to-day lives, we all do and see things in a certain way. It depends on our culture, our family, the time we live in. But what if we changed our perspective? What if we made a small change in the way “things are done” that we normally don’t think about? It can make a difference in our day, don’t you think? It can change our lives, the lives of others and, since we’re on a roll, the world!

So, are you ready to join us?

Our content & style

In our world today, an article is old after a week. The content of Perspective Living on the other hand is about perspective, not whether it has time value or not. All of our content is timeless and always relevant in this time in history.

But most importantly, as mentioned, there are only points of view here. There are no conclusions or positions. We are not here to convince you of anything. It is entirely up to you what you do with the content we hand to you. We only hope that you will stay open to possibilities and not to “I agree versus disagree with that.”

Please note we have background articles with perspectives in these categories: LifeStyle, Relationships, WorkLife and MindBody. We also have Slow News, Stories and a selection of Random Life Perspectives. We also have a mixture of videos and audio interviews.

Sample perspectives of our magazine

So what kinds of perspectives do we have?

All over the world we get up early to have a successful day. After all, if we don’t, we are lazy and getting up early has prestige. But what if our success in the day has nothing to do with getting up early? What if getting up when we naturally would is better for our health and our productivity? Yes, but that is impossible in this world, you say? Check out our inspiring story about a woman and a successful model in Denmark. It is supported by ministers, companies, schools and nursing homes!

Another widely held perspective is that we need a lifelong partner in life. Not just to feel fulfilled or happier, but because that’s what we’re supposed to do. But what if this life story, that we all have, might not be a good fit for us? Do we ever think about that? As we are finding more and more, there are surprising benefits to both being together and staying single. Maybe we just need to find out what works for us, rather than because convention tells us so? Read more about this here: “We should fear being single, and aim for a relationship: A very persistent story.“

When we have an animal in our lives, we all care for it in the same way. Let’s take a dog as an example. We take it for a walk, give it a treat and throw it a ball. Anything above that is ‘spoiling it’. But do we give a dog what it really needs? Do we give it the least in life that it needs to be healthy and happy? For example, did you know how important good quality sleep is to a dog? That it affects everything from his health to his behaviour on the street? We talked to Judith who gives a fresh perspective. From a scientific point of view and from her own work as an animal welfare professional.

How do you see the process of ageing, in yourself and others? Full of decline of mind and body with a point of no return? Think again! We have two stories with interesting perspectives. For instance, about how such age stereotypes are having an effect on us. Make sure to check them out. Help, I am over 50! Could we age better if we expect better? And don’t forget to read about Rosie, who’s onto you, with all your stereotypical ideas about the elderly! About life: The ”elderly” lady with the caravan and the magic shed.

We also talked to different people about “synchronicity.” We spoke with a few scientists who have studied the phenomenon. But also to spiritual experts who work with the concept in psychology as a model for life improvement. Be warned: you can be pleasantly surprised how closely these seemingly opposing views can be!

Don’t hesitate to get in touch

We hope you enjoy this magazine. Please get in touch with any questions you have or ideas you would like to discuss. Check out our ways to connect and contribute with your perspectives here.
