Outwardly he was still achieving, with an impressive career; but he realised he'd never felt comfortable in his own skin. Life had always felt more of a grind than a gift – he'd always believed that if he only worked harder, he'd find fulfilment. Now he realised that wasn't the case. Like many others during Lockdown, he asked himself why he'd always had a constant feeling of unease and discontent? He wondered what wise people had to say about how we can live better. Craig decided to try a different path to the one he'd travelled before, reading and listening to many people.

  • Thought provoking and a reminder we are fallible

    Thoroughly recommend this Pod. A reminder that “life” is complicated. Very thought provoking and helpful in gaining perspective. And some great words of wisdom along the way.

  • How to agree to disagree

    I always look forward to Craig’s podcast. I really enjoyed the episode with David Baddiel. I think you could say he has strong opinions and Craig skilfully challenged some of the ideas in his book in a very thoughtful and respectful way whilst still championing the book. Also David appeared to deeply listen back to him too. He said he was a child but no - he’s a grown up 😊
