The Law of Attraction just sounds a little too good to be true. Think about something enough and it will happen. It just sounds so... convenient. Law of Attraction coach Jeannette Maw decided it would be awesome to appear on Oprah to talk about what she does.

Does it work?  Jeannette is a Master Certified Coach and founder of Good Vibe University. She describes herself as a full time manifesting geek on a mission to inspire conscious creators.

Have you heard of dutch daredevil "The Iceman", Wim Hof, yet? If not, you have a treat in store in this week's podcast. I first saw him speak in California last year. This guy is incredible. He holds 20 world records, including a world record for longest ice bath. Wim has shown what the human body is capable of once you find the flow within your physical and mental state. He describes his ability to withstand extreme cold temperatures as being able to "turn his own thermostat up" by using his mind through yoga. He climbed to 6.7 kilometres (22,000 ft) altitude at Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes. I know! And he completed a full marathon above the arctic circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F). Dressed in nothing but shorts, Hof finished in 5 hours and 25 minutes.  Listen to today's podcast for the opportunity to reach out and do more than what you thought you were capable of.  Through the right training and exercises, you can strengthen your inner nature and prevent diseas

Put the painkillers down, and listen to Zestology. Dr Michelle Robin is one of the world's top chiropractors and a relevant guest for me. In this podcast, we start off with some general chat - but if you want to get straight to the good stuff on backs, sleep position and so forth, feel free to skip straight to that bit. Back pain is something I have a specific interest in. That's because every once in a while, mine hurts. Once Dr. Michelle gets going, the unbelievable in-depth knowledge she has offers some practical solutions to anyone living in pain or wanting more energy. Dr Michelle Robin is a fascinating expert in this area. She is a 'wellness chiropractor'. She says wellness because she doesn't just want to make sure your spine is in alignment. She makes a lot of sense. Enjoy. As I say, we start on general stuff, and then go more in depth. You may find that bit more useful. Tony.

Next time on Zestology: How can we live pain free? How can we sort out a painful back? What's the perfect sleep position? What position is a big no-no for your back? And what one change in mindset could help us live with loads more energy (I like this one) That's next time, with Dr. Michelle Robin, on Zestology

Uh, are the two most important words in the world? Laura Coe is an entrepreneur, podcast host, philosophy lover and certified life coach. She's a brilliant podcast guest, because she told me in simple terms how two little words could change our lives. She had a high-powered corporate career, and when I say high-powered, she was right at the top. But then something dramatic happened, and everything changed. Our topic this week - expressing what you really want in life, and then getting it. (There's a clue as to what those two words are in here.) When you speak your truth, personal freedom, a sense of internal calm, a confidence you always wanted, but couldn’t find, will start to appear.  “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde. Oh, and for those two little words, listen on... 

Next time on Zestology: I'm with Laura Coe, entrepreneur, podcast host, philosophy lover and certified life coach, and we focus in on the two most important words in the world.  What are they? You'll have to wait until the weekend, but trust me, this is a good 'un, and Laura is an outstanding guest.

Award-winning BBC broadcaster and journalist Tim Samuels is on Zestology this week. He's just written a new book called Who Stole My Spear? Getting back to nature and reconnecting is so important. It's a recurring theme on Zestology, and Tim Samuels is the perfect person to help transport us back a few thousand years! Coming up: How can you hunt and gather in an open-plan office? Why is singing so good for us on a primal level? How can you get more caveman on a day to day basis? And where does your DNA tell you that you originate from? Tim stops at nothing to explore how men should actually be living these days. From relationships, religion, and the rise of ISIS, to porn, fatherhood and the oppression of office life. Nothing is taboo. Oh and if you're a woman, there's tons of content in here for you too. In fact I found Tim one of the most knowledgeable and definitely wittiest guests I've interviewed. We recorded in my local park, which Tim describes in very amusing detail at the start of the podcast.

Gretchen Rubin on experiments in the pursuit of happiness and good habits #65 "Don't let books become the spinach of your life" Just one of my favourite quotes from Gretchen Rubin in this week's Zestology podcast. By this she means don't only read worthy books/eat spinach because you feel obliged. Read and eat the good stuff. Gretchen is a big name and an awesome guest for Zestology podcast. And books were quite a theme in this interview. She's the author of several blockbuster New York Times bestsellers. She has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold more than two million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages. So I spoke to her on this podcast about upgrading some of our habits. Like: How to read more How to get over decision fatigue And how to pass the toothpaste test (we basically invented this during the podcast) Good habits help you to make better decisions, as it turns out. So listen to Gretchen help you upgrade your habits.
