    BITESIZE | The Truth About Modern Anxiety & A Surprising Way To Find Joy and Meaning | Alain de Botton #558
    May 22 2025
    Have you ever wondered why, despite all our modern comforts, so many of us still struggle with unhappiness and anxiety? What if a more fulfilling life isn’t about constant positivity but rather a form of ‘cheerful pessimism’? Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 495 of the podcast with author, internationally renowned philosopher, and founder of The School of Life, the wonderful Alain de Botton. Alain is known for his thoughtful, often humorous take on the complexities of modern life. In this clip, Alain explains a concept that he calls ‘cheerful pessimism’ which challenges what he describes as the modern obsession with happiness and introduces the idea that a more melancholic outlook to life might actually lead to greater fulfilment. His message of hope and understanding about the shared human experience of suffering and complexity is both comforting and inspiring and his thoughtful and practical strategies offer a roadmap for anyone seeking a more authentic and meaningful life. Alain’s latest book: A Therapeutic Journey: Lessons From The School of Life.

  • Esther Perel: How to Feel More Connected, Respected And Valued At Work & Home #557

    Esther Perel: How to Feel More Connected, Respected And Valued At Work & Home #557
    May 20 2025
    Are we expecting too much from our jobs - and is it costing us our health, relationships and happiness? This week I’m delighted to welcome back someone who is regarded as one of the most insightful and original voices on modern relationships, the psychotherapist Esther Perel. Fluent in nine languages, Esther has her own therapy practice in New York City, serves as an organisational consultant for multiple Fortune 500 companies and is ALSO the author of the New York Times Bestselling books, ‘Mating in Captivity’ and ‘The State of Affairs’. Although Esther is probably best known for her teachings and wisdom on our romantic relationships, more recently she has turned her attention to our work relationships. The occasion for this appearance on my podcast is to celebrate the release of her brand new 100-question card game designed to transform your work culture – one story and one relationship at a time. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how our expectations of the workplace have shifted dramatically – and why it’s creating both opportunity and strain. Esther shares that in the past, work was primarily about survival, duty and financial stability. But today, many of us are looking to our jobs to provide identity, belonging, fulfilment and even self-worth. We discuss: Esther’s four key pillars of healthy workplace relationships – trust, belonging, recognition and collective resilience – and why these needs mirror those in our romantic lives How unresolved workplace issues can lead to emotional exhaustion, poor health choices and a reduced capacity to connect at home How our increasingly digital lives are reducing the everyday social skills we need to connect, communicate and collaborate How our personal relationship history – our “unofficial CV” – shows up at work and influences how we handle authority, conflict, feedback and boundaries Why managing conflict well can deepen connection – and how curiosity and honest self-reflection can transform how we show up in all areas of life Throughout our conversation, Esther offers compassion and clarity, breaking down complex emotional patterns into simple, human truths we can all relate to – and, most importantly, act on. She encourages us to approach work relationships not as transactional, but as relational, inviting us to bring the same level of curiosity, empathy, and accountability that we would bring to any meaningful connection. At a time when so many of us are feeling isolated or overwhelmed, Esther’s advice shows that even small shifts in how we relate, listen and respond can spark meaningful change at work, with our families and ourselves.

These podcasts are a regular part of my week and I never fail to take away something useful or gain a new perspective on something. They've helped with my own personal growth and mindset. Really interesting guests and it gives me interesting things to look into and research further if I want to.

I really enjoy these podcasts

I found the direct and honest advice in this podcast refreshing. As a final year nutrition & lifestyle student, I rely on scientific research to shape my consultations. Whilst this is important when giving health advice, this podcast has reminded me there is a lot in between our knowledge and perception that we need to be mindful of.

Inspiring

It’s been a game changer for me, I have reassessed my life after listening to listening to Dr Sinclair, In a few years I will be a pensioner, a goal in its self, I am lucky to be fit and healthy and feel like I am 40.Being a pensioner, slowing down, taking time out is what all the adverts are talking. But I like working and meeting people and having purpose flow so I have moved my pensioner age to 85 like David’s dad.
It’s a game changer, now I have joined the gym, seen the phisio about my knees and am reenergised for the next 20 years.

Back for a second time
