Zestology: Live Life with Energy, Vitality, Motivation, Health, Confidence, Great Sleep, Biohacking ...

Uh, are the two most important words in the world? Laura Coe is an entrepreneur, podcast host, philosophy lover and certified life coach. She's a brilliant podcast guest, because she told me in simple terms how two little words could change our lives. She had a high-powered corporate career, and when I say high-powered, she was right at the top. But then something dramatic happened, and everything changed. Our topic this week - expressing what you really want in life, and then getting it. (There's a clue as to what those two words are in here.) When you speak your truth, personal freedom, a sense of internal calm, a confidence you always wanted, but couldn’t find, will start to appear.  “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde. Oh, and for those two little words, listen on... 

Next time on Zestology: I'm with Laura Coe, entrepreneur, podcast host, philosophy lover and certified life coach, and we focus in on the two most important words in the world.  What are they? You'll have to wait until the weekend, but trust me, this is a good 'un, and Laura is an outstanding guest.

Award-winning BBC broadcaster and journalist Tim Samuels is on Zestology this week. He's just written a new book called Who Stole My Spear? Getting back to nature and reconnecting is so important. It's a recurring theme on Zestology, and Tim Samuels is the perfect person to help transport us back a few thousand years! Coming up: How can you hunt and gather in an open-plan office? Why is singing so good for us on a primal level? How can you get more caveman on a day to day basis? And where does your DNA tell you that you originate from? Tim stops at nothing to explore how men should actually be living these days. From relationships, religion, and the rise of ISIS, to porn, fatherhood and the oppression of office life. Nothing is taboo. Oh and if you're a woman, there's tons of content in here for you too. In fact I found Tim one of the most knowledgeable and definitely wittiest guests I've interviewed. We recorded in my local park, which Tim describes in very amusing detail at the start of the podcast.

Gretchen Rubin on experiments in the pursuit of happiness and good habits #65 "Don't let books become the spinach of your life" Just one of my favourite quotes from Gretchen Rubin in this week's Zestology podcast. By this she means don't only read worthy books/eat spinach because you feel obliged. Read and eat the good stuff. Gretchen is a big name and an awesome guest for Zestology podcast. And books were quite a theme in this interview. She's the author of several blockbuster New York Times bestsellers.

So I spoke to her on this podcast about upgrading some of our habits.

So listen to Gretchen help you upgrade your habits.
