It's Thanksgiving time in the States (and a few other places, interestingly) so a show about the valuable lessons it can teach us all seems appropriate. You've heard it before and you'll hear it again – you need as much gratitude in your life as you can possibly get.

Enjoy the show, it’s The Self Help Podcast!

• If you're game for a laugh then read The Great Disruption
• The Transformative Power of Gratitude

• Sean says you just eat your next meal with a genuine sense of wonder and gratitude
• Ed demands that you watch Planes, Trains & Automobiles NOW

I think we can all agree that parenting is a rather important book. The thing about being a parent though, is that there is no text book. There's no hard and fast way to raise a human being. Sometimes, we make mistakes – maybe we're overprotective, perhaps we're under-protective, too strict or goodness knows what.

It's an important job but sometimes we make the wrong calls and, over a long enough time line the routines and habits we teach can have a long term, negative impact. So how do we pick up the pieces?

• ‘Why Japanese Kids Can Walk to School Alone‘

• ‘The Side Effects of Overprotective Parenting‘

If you want to do anything in life you'll need just one thing – ENERGY (it's science). Trouble is, a lot of us aren't equipped with as much energy as we could/should have. Tiredness and fatigue can be supremely limiting in our lives so how can we overcome them?

• ‘9 Tips to Get Your Energy Back‘
• Some great tips on fatigue, sleep and energy levels from the NHS

Families. Can't live with them, can't [insert witty line here]. But what about when we inherit a whole new family when we meet a new partner, with children that have grown up without us? It's a situation that many folks find themselves in so let's dive in…

Enjoy the show, it’s The Self Help Podcast!

• Ed suggests you acquaint yourself with Scott Dinsmore, but was very sad to hear of his recent passing. Check out his amazing legacy at Live Your Legend or watch the TEDx talk he gave. We'll miss you Scott.
