About

Thank you for dropping in.

My intention with this website is to share fresh, entertaining information for living your best life and making the planet better in the process. My hope is that I am in a decent position to do just that.

I have two degrees, the first being in palaeoanthropology (studying the evolutionary history of humans) and psychology and the second in natural medicine. Since then, I have spent a couple of decades in the media as a writer and broadcaster and have been blessed to have worked on some amazing projects and publications.

My intention with this website is to share fresh, entertaining information for living your best life and making the planet better in the process.

I have fronted shows on the nature of happiness, the truth about food, and the shape of sustainable business to name a few. I have been a science and health correspondent for radio and television networks as well as hosting many podcasts.

I have written countless articles and columns, interviewing some truly inspiring people along the way. I have also written five books, all traditionally published, including Failure IS an Option (how setbacks breed success) and Deep Health. There are some more books on the way, and I will let you know about them here on this website.

The early theatrical phase of my life (which I will not dwell on too greatly here) has transformed over time into public speaking, training, and hosting/presenting. In whatever I have done, I have tried to entertain as well as inform because I believe we are here to learn, that we learn best when our minds are open, and that our minds open when they are having fun.

What I hope this adds up to is that I can be a worthy filter to sift the plethora of information out there on flourishing as human beings (by which I mean living well and sustainably) bringing it to you here with a sprinkle of insight and whimsy to make it piquant. Whether I achieve that is up to you to decide, but the fact that you are here is a good start.

Who knows what led you to this page, all sorts of algorithms shape our web destinations but that’s OK, because life is shaped by similar forces. Maybe you and I can collaborate, perhaps you will find some useful information on the site, or maybe you are just here for a perusal. Whatever the case, thanks again for dropping in and I hope your time spent here leaves you better for the experience.
