April 05, 2020 Flecks of Gold , Brambles and Gratitude - Ep. #05
In this episode, I share two stories designed to encourage reflection, along with a poem I've recently written on the theme of gratitude.
I mentioned the Emma Barnett Show on BBC Radio 5 Live - it was an interview on 26/03/2020 (starting at 2 hours 39 minutes) with Alan de Botain, a Swiss-born British philosopher and author, who spoke about happiness and expectation. I'm not sure how long the episode will be available, but the link at present is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000gkkl
