Stillness isn't a luxury or a productivity hack.

It's one of the most deeply human things we can do. And even five or ten minutes a day can start to change the speed at which you move through the world.

Henry Shukman has been meditating for almost 40 years, and he makes a point in this conversation that I think many of us need to hear.

"It is such a deeply human practice to be still and quiet." — Henry Shukman (@ShukmanHenry)

Whether you're new to meditation or have been practising for years, there's something in this conversation for you.

As one of the world's leading psychotherapists on modern love and intimacy, @EstherPerel has a gift for holding up a mirror to our habits in a way that is both funny and quietly devastating.

And this line from our conversation has stayed with me:
"We need to be very careful not to replace the ritual with the virtual, the IRL with the URL."

In this week's new episode of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast, Esther and I explore the new threats facing modern relationships, and what we can do about them.

Forgiveness is not justifying, forgiveness is not condoning, forgiveness is not excusing, and forgiveness is not reconciling. Forgiveness is letting go, in order to free yourself of a burden .

Sonja Lyubomirsky (@slyubomirsky) has spent 36 years studying the science of happiness. And her reframe on forgiveness in this conversation is one that I think many people might find reassuring.

In this week's new episode of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast, Sonja walks us through her five mindsets for feeling more loved, including radical curiosity, sharing, listening to learn, an open heart and multiplicity.

I think you'll find something in this conversation that stays with you long after you've listened.

Why do you want to live longer? It's worth asking yourself honestly.

That question sits at the heart of this conversation with brain health expert Dr Tommy Wood (@DrRagnar) . And today, we tackle the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to protecting their brain and longevity.

You can solo optimise. You can track every biomarker, take every supplement, follow every protocol. But if you lose your connection to other people in the pursuit of living longer, you may never actually get the thing you were trying to live longer for in the first place.

In this week's new episode of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast, Tommy and I cover seven common brain health mistakes and the practical steps to address every one of them, including why focusing on solo health habits at the expense of social connection is something we should avoid if we can.
