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. She has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold more than two million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages. So I spoke to her on this podcast about upgrading some of our habits. Like: How to read more How to get over decision fatigue And how to pass the toothpaste test (we basically invented this during the podcast) Good habits help you to make better decisions, as it turns out. So listen to Gretchen help you upgrade your habits.

Test, track and improve. This podcast is a lot of fun, with a guy who seriously knows what he is talking about. As you may know, I am an unashamed geek when it comes to tracking stuff. It's really not as tricky as it sounds though. It only takes about 90 seconds a night to track everything (lifestyle factors, supplements, energy levels and sleep quality) on a big old excel spreadsheet. Then, rather than wondering if meditation helps me feel more relaxed, or drinking loads of wine the night before a big day has a negative impact (duh), I have the data to prove it. This movement is known as Quantified Self, and there are some enlightened discoveries being made by people every day. More and more people are tracking every day, using devices like the Jawbone (modelled by yours truly below). Today's Zestology guest is Josh Trent. He is the founder of Wellness Force Radio, he’s been called a “Top 50 Digital Health Influencers of 2015,” and he’s a Quantified Self enthusiast & expert in Fitness Technology. With na

Motivation, achievement and what it takes to endure with ultraendurance man Dean Karnazes #56 The secrets of motivation, from an ultraendurance athlete This week’s guest Dean Karnazes does it all—seriously. Not only is he a renowned endurance athlete and accomplished author, but he also works with several Fortune 500 companies all around the world, helping employees transform into elite leaders and managers.
