Would you like to learn more, but just can't find the time? Would you like to remember more? And remember stuff better? Are you interested in remembering every single person's name that you ever meet? And lots more cool learning tricks I love reading and books and learning. I'm a book geek, definitely, but it just doesn't seem like there's the time. I often manage a book a week, but what if it could be more? When I do read I love it and if you want some book recommendations then check out my special book club blog here. I'm wondering whether we can all up our reading and learning rate. That's where today's guest comes in. Today on Zestology podcast, I'm thrilled to get to grips with speed-reading, and remember more with world memory expert Jim Kwik. Jim has shared the stage with luminaries such as the Dalai Lama and Richard Branson, and is a highly sought after coach and trainer, with clients that include Nike, Zappos, Virgin, Fox Studios, Harvard University, and many more.

Are you overextended and overburdened by life? Are you stressed out, anxious, maybe even panic-stricken about your commitments? If so, you might feel quite liberated by The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k I'm with Sarah Knight on the podcast Zestology this week. Sarah was almost 30 years old when she began to realise it was possible to stop caring so much, but was nearly 40 before she figured out how to make it happen. Now she's written a uplifting and enjoyable book about it, and she's on a mission to make all of us care a little bit less. That's me too. I could definitely do with caring a bit less about stuff, and so when I heard about her book we connected on Twitter and set up a fun chat. When you hear what she's got planned for the next stage of her life - inspired by the book - you may well be jel. In today's show, we cover giving up one's job and starting again, planning more low-maintenance weddings and the country Iceland... she doesn't give a monkeys about that either. (Not sure about this one - I love Iceland! :) Nevertheless, it is very liberating not caring so much about stuff. I'm interested, which is why I wanted to know more. And how...

When was the last time you truly got outside your comfort zone or just went on a new adventure? How did you feel during it? (Probably a bit terrified.) And afterwards? (Probably a bit awesome.) Today's blog and podcast is looks at getting outside your comfort zone. (If you'd like to see a video of me getting outside my comfort zone on a hoverboard, scroll down to the bottom of this blog.) Derek Loudermilk is a former professional cyclist and scientist turned full-time traveler and adventurer. He hosts one of the top rated self-help podcasts, The Art of Adventure and he's with me today on Zestology.  On this show. What would life be like if you upped sticks and travelled round the world recording podcasts indefinitely? (Not that I'm jel!) How might you use adventure for creativity, confidence, and storytelling? What is the science behind how to get more charisma? What is a simple tip you can use right now to become more charismatic and effective as a communicator? Derek and I recorded a double-header podcast over two hours. The first hour I interviewed him for Zestology. The second hour, he interviewed me for his podcast The Art of Adventure.
