Lying in a weeks long coma after being involved in a car crash at 300 miles per hour, you may wonder about the life path that led Richard Hammond to that hospital bed and the personality behind his miraculous recovery.

From a short school boy desperate for attention to one of the nations favourite trio of petrol heads, Richard has always been either driven or driving. Despite labelling himself just a very lucky guy and thinking success was for other people, his infectious enthusiasm has made him a national icon.

In this wide ranging conversation Richard discusses everything from why Top Gear was the success it was, what he saw on the brink of death, and why cars have always had such a deep emotional appeal to him.

How many times have you said that you will finally be happy at some future date or when you have achieved some far off goal? Only once you reach that future time or accomplish that goal you aren’t happy? In this moment Stephen Fry discusses how we madly chase for complex things that we think will make us happy or indulge in fake happiness, all the while ignoring the simple things right in front of us that give true joy. Stephen says that our feelings of self worth and fulfilment ultimately come from the way we treat other people.

When was the last time something took your breath away, or left you speechless? Awe is something that is hard to put into words and understand for yourself, let alone scientifically examine. However this is exactly what Dr Dacher Keltner has dedicated his career to.

In this eye opening conversation Dacher discusses just what it means to live a good life, our need for connection, and his personally journey from tragedy and despair to finding and spreading the awe of everyday life.

Have you tried every diet under the sun but can’t seem to budge the weight, or if you have lost the weight as soon as you stop the diet you put it all back on? What if weight loss had nothing to do with discipline and self control, but your brain was actually designed to want you to be fat?

This is something that Cambridge University Professor Giles Yeo has been researching all through his career, how the brain controls our bodyweight. Dr Yeo examines how our genes have evolved over time to make us crave certain foods, and why people can have totally different relationships with food.

After watching this conversation you won’t see food the same way again, as Dr Yeo exposes why calories shouldn’t be counted, why most diets are the same and unsustainable in the long term and how you can lose weight without losing your love of food.

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. What do you want in life and how do you make the changes to get it? In this moment Dr Julie Smith helps you to tell the difference between a goal and a value, and what the difference between the two can mean for your life. While goal’s end as soon as you achieve them, a value is something you follow all your life. Even though life may pull you away from the path set by your values, you can always return to it. Dr Smith discusses the need for value check ins to remember what is important in your life and to reflect on the gradual changes you are making that lead to big meaningful differences in your life.
