Today's Zestology guest is fantastic and his focus is living peacefully. He has a lot of followers in America, India, and all over the world, and spoke at the first ever Glastonbury Festival (or Glastonbury Fayre as it was known then) and you'll enjoy hearing his stories about that. Now Penguin Life have published his book Peace is Possible: Thoughts on Happiness, Success and Relationships for a Deeper Understanding of Life and they set up this interview so I could meet Prem.  Here's a bit more about him: Global peace ambassador Prem Rawat has spent his entire life travelling the world to deliver one timeless message: peace is possible. He began speaking about peace when he was just 4 years old and his extraordinary passion for each has inspired millions of people over the last five decades. Enjoy - thank you to Prem, and as always head to the website for more Zestology updates throughout the week.

I met one of the world's foremost sleep researchers and experts, Matthew Walker at his Airbnb in London when he was over recently. Ironically, his rented flat was opposite Tiger Tiger which closes at 4am. So the world’s top sleep guru hadn’t had a great night’s sleep. It was the perfect chance for him to talk me through his own sleep schedule, as well as look at other important sleep issues including; The best time to go to sleep The optimum way to prepare in the final hour before bed The perils of bad sleep (frankly terrifying) How to deal with insomnia Sleep tips for parents (I need these) The importance of bright light exposure. The truth about sunglasses (surprising - if you are a sunglasses wearer make sure you listen) Getting the temperature right in your bedroom. (Clue - the older you get, the cooler it needs to be.) I’m sure that after listening to this you’ll change more than one thing about your bedtime routine. And if you enjoy it, perhaps you’ll share it with someone else you know who could do with a better night’s sleep.

I'm not spiritual. Should I be? It's a dilemma. I feel connected to the world, to others, perhaps even to a higher purpose. But I struggle to describe myself as spiritual. Maybe Martina Coogan could help. Do we need to be spiritual to live a good life? Is it even worth thinking about such higher concepts? Martina Coogan runs the Modern Mystery School here in London. They run huge seminars and workshops all focused on spiritual awareness and personal empowerment. She has taught in Ireland, England, Sweden, Turkey, USA, Canada, Singapore, South Africa and the Middle East. Over the years, through her healings and teachings, Martina has enabled many people to rediscover and remember their true selves.

It's another ZestHacks episode, featuring the world’s cleanest vodka, an update on the Footpads we spoke about last week, zero drop footwear that my feet love (this is an ongoing quest), the top clean sunscreen, a great way to cook healthy with my top gadget currently, and an eco-friendly clothing brand we love. Starting with the vodka. The idea is that the less impurities in an alcohol, the less likely you are to react to it. In other words, the less likely it is to give you a stinking hangover. And I am unfortunately Mr Sensitive these days when it comes to booze. But I might have cracked it with my new fave voddie. Listen on to find out more.
