Ed Stott & The Big Life Questions

How to REALLY Rest & Why You Need It with Claudia Hammond

For something that should be simple, resting is remarkably tricky - so how do we master this lost art? And why should we make it a priority? Well Claudia Hammond has become somewhat of an expert in the topic - she's a psychology lecturer, award winning broadcaster &amp; the author of The Art of Rest: How to Find Respite in The Modern World which draws on her work on the world's largest ever survey into rest.

One big question at a time. Explored, untangled, and (possibly) solved.

Self-improvement is everywhere but most of it's overly simplistic, shouty, and backed by vibes, not evidence.

I'm Ed Stott, former BBC &amp; ABC journalist turned independent audio doco maker, obsessed with figuring out how to live better. (That obsession once led to 50 stand-up gigs in 6 months… but more on that later.)

Each month, I tackle one big, messy life question like "What's my purpose?" or "Should I quit my job?" and get real answers from the world's sharpest minds.

No fluff. Just big ideas, explored creatively, to help you make sense of your life.
