Ben Williams talks on his incredible story; struggling with drug addiction and battling suicidal thoughts, he turned his life around and joined the Royal Marine Commandos where he l...

It's my Zestology Books Of The Year Show. It's been an intense year, and my most effective way to switch off has been to read. There's been plenty of time to do that for sure, so here are my energising book recommendations based on what I've enjoyed this year. It's like a book awards, but a bit more informal. The two categories are Non-fiction health and personal improvement. Fiction that makes you feel good, think and grow.

It's episode 300 of Zestology... and that means I've been doing this about 6 years now. I suffered from complete burnout a few years ago, and spent a few months in bed unable to do anything much. I wish I’d had Fiona Agombar’s book back then. I’m fully on board with her recommendations for mindful gentle healing, and I hope this podcast helps you to re-energise and recover.
