Dr. David Zupančič: The Science of Peaceful Living

In the now fifth conversation in the Cycle of Conversations for a Healthy Lifestyle, we will host Dr. David Zupančič, who will share insights and teachings from his book The Science of Peaceful Living.

David Zupančič is a doctor, writer, host of the podcast The Art of Laziness, television presenter, and online influencer. His debut book Life in the Gray Zone became the fastest-selling book by a Slovenian author immediately after its release, and it was declared the best book of the year 2022 at the Slovenian Book Fair. A year later, he published his second book titled The Science of Peaceful Living, which followed in the footsteps of the first book and became a major bestseller within a week. On the social media platform Instagram, he has built a large following with his sincere, humorous, and professional reporting, sharing scientifically supported information on medicine and health, while also raising awareness about mental disorders and issues of stress and burnout, with plans to expand his activities to television programming by 2025. He is employed at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana.

What will Dr. David Zupančič talk about in the lecture?

How to maintain inner peace and psychological homeostasis amidst the great demands of the modern world? What techniques can help on a daily basis, and how can we create our own 'package' of psychological first aid? The lecture will present several important, scientifically supported concepts, from laziness to mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and the evolutionary advantages of empathy, all connected through the author's own experiences, stresses, and challenges. The lecture is based on concepts presented in the author's bestseller The Science of Peaceful Living, which was the best-selling book in Slovenia in 2023 and 2024.

Quote from the book:

'The moment you overcome the skepticism that you don't need to work on yourself, an infinite opportunity opens up. When you stop living with the mantra, 'that's just how I am, accept me,' you can take responsibility for yourself and become more like that version of yourself that can genuinely inspire you. Beyond cynicism, true growth begins.'
