Lou shares an original song of his at the end of the discussion which I think you will agree is nothing short of fabulous.

Thanks again to Lou for agreeing to talk with me in this episode which was recorded about a year ago, and for making me welcome in his home so that we could talk. Enjoy!

In the episode we look at resilience or 'grit' as an essential life skill. We consider the wisdom of those who have exemplified grit in the past and we consider ways to build grit so that we can face life's challenges, deal with them and enable a peaceful mind as a result.

I hope you enjoy the episode... Peter

Taking a walk in the beautiful wooded area around the Farnham Estate in Cavan, Ireland, I stopped to share a few thoughts on understanding some of the drivers behind stress and anxiety and to propose a few methods that can help alleviate and manage stress as it occurs in your life.

You'll hear birdsong and the sounds of nature in the background... all authentic and recorded as I sat on a fallen tree in this lush woodland paradise!

As always...thank you for joining me and I hope you get something from the messages in today's podcast.
