The Art of Brilliance Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to series 8 of the Art of Being Brilliant podcast!

We're joined by the Doctor of Happiness, Andy Cope, who loves to chat about all things happiness, personal development and wellbeing.

This episode, Andy talks about the importance of finding some fun in your life... whilst sharing a light-hearted take on traditional horoscopes.

Do you ever wish that life was just a little bit simpler? In this week's episode, Carl joins us to talk about... Paddington Bear.

Why? Because he's a true 2percenter - who manages to take his (rather unfair) share of challenges in his stride. He keeps things simple. So, this week's episode has a few tips (and a challenge) that will help you live a simpler life.

So if you find yourself constantly saying, "I just need things to calm down a bit"... this episode has been made for you.

Welcome to episode 18. Dr Andy is back this week to talk about flying frogs.

Andy is reading one of the pages from the new edition of the Art of Being Brilliant book, the parable of Clarence and Felix. It's a very short story about Clarence, who is trying to get Felix (a frog) to learn to fly... give it a listen, we're certain you'll be able to relate to it!
