Brigid Delaney is currently a political speechwriter. She was a journalist for The Guardian, and wrote popular weekly column, 'Brigid Delaney's Diary',' which we little a little about in this interview. She wrote that column for eight years. It is so good. Like unbelievably and consistently funny, it's stood the test of time. Read the cheese story and the mansion story mentioned in the episode—they're incredible! Brigid also wrote Wellmania, the book that the Netflix series is based. But the main thing that Katherine and Brigid talk a lot in this interview about is stoicism, which is the focus of her most recent book, Reasons Not to Worry. Katherine has wanted to speak to Brigid about stoicism for a long time. Brigid wrote an article about stoicism when COVID first started, and it felt like it offered a sort of solace that wasn't anywhere else. The concepts are so useful, particularly for creatives and people putting art/writing into the world.

Who the hell would want to be a Stoic? That was journalist Brigid Delaney's thought when she was commissioned to write a book on Stoic philosophy. Brigid felt she was more Epicurean by nature if anything, but having now written the book Reasons Not to Worry: How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times, she's happy to admit Marcus Aurelius and co. rule her life.In this episode, Brigid walks us through:What to do when you have FOMO in your career.What to do with feeling of failure.What to do when you piss off your neighbour.What to do when conflicts escalate.How to cope with disaster.How to create structure around your drinking habits.And how to make your own shame vaccine. Jenny reflects on how her thinking was transformed by Stoicism during a stint at Alcoholics Anonymous. Frank insists he's a Stoic, despite regularly pulling hand guns on tradies.LINKSBrigid Delaney's book Reasons Not to WorryBrigid Delaney's book WellmaniaSpirit Levels on InstagramOur newsletter Hosted on Acast.

The comedy and acting star Aisling Bea grew up in County Kildare in Ireland and in 2011 became the first woman for 20 years to win the prestigious stand-up competition So You Think You're Funny? Her Bafta-winning sitcom This Way Up firmly established her as a presence to be reckoned with on our TV screens- last year she played the lead in the film based on Take That's music, Greatest Days, and she regularly pops up on US TV and movies. She joins Emma Barnett to discuss her latest show, Alice and Jack, which has just begun on Channel 4.Following the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, we look at the role of his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and whether she might become the new face of the opposition. Yulia is due to speak with European foreign ministers in Brussels today. To discuss, Emma is joined by the Spectator's Russia correspondent, Owen Matthews, who was Bureau Chief for Newsweek in Moscow for more than a decade, and Sarah Rainsford, BBC Eastern Europe Correspondent who was expelled from Russia after many years, and is now based in Warsaw. Carmen Smith is 27 and set to become the youngest peer in the House of Lords. Carmen will replace Plaid Cymru's only member of the Lords, Dafydd Wigley (the Rt, Hon Lord Wigley) who is retiring aged 80, and was a previously leader of Plaid. Carmen will be known as Baroness Smith of Llanfaes, the village where she grew up. She joins Emma to talk about the challenges ahead, the reaction to her selection and why she wants to join a body she believes should be abolished. Can Ancient Greek theories revolutionise our modern day lives? Australian author Brigid Delaney seems to think so. She talks to Emma about swapping wellness for stoicism, alongside classicist Professor Edith Hall.Presenter: Emma Barnett Produced by: Louise Corley Studio engineer: Steve Greenwood

Od 29 marca na platformie Netflix serial „Wellmania” z niepodrabialną Celeste Barber. Ten filmowy projekt powstał na podstawie książki Brigid Delaney, która pokazuje, że poszukiwanie wewnętrznej harmonii czasami przybiera karykaturalne formy. Branża health&beauty potrafi bez skrupułów zarabiać na ludzkim zagubieniu. Miotamy się między hedonizmem a zagrażającymi życiu postami. Zdrowe żywienie zamienia się w ortoreksję, ćwiczenia stają się obsesją, zostaje wieczne niezadowolenia z samego siebie. We wtorek porozmawiamy m.in. o przebodźcowaniu, samotności i pragnieniu spokoju. Przyjrzymy się swoim relacjom z nowoczesnymi technologiami i podzielimy sposobami na miniurlopy dla przegrzanego mózgu.

This chat I am joined by Australian Actor ‘Lachlan Buchanan' who is currently staring in the smash hit series ‘Wellmainia' now on ‘Netflix Australia.' ‘Lachie' takes on the role of actress comedian ‘Celeste Barber's' brother in ‘Wellmainia' and while the show has been out for a few weeks - I thought it would be great to talk with him about his break-through role. ‘Wellmania' is an ‘Australian' comedy drama streaming television series co-created by ‘Brigid Delaney' and ‘Benjamin Law' for Netflix. Based on ‘Delaney's' memoir-reportage hybrid, ‘Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness,' it follows' Liv Healy (Celeste Barber), a 39-year-old woman who struggles with a "major health crisis" as she tries various methods to reclaim her well-being. I will ask ‘Lachie' about his life in ‘Los Angeles' and how he has survived for 14 years trying to crack the biz! ‘Lachie' will explain if the show was scripted or if they improvised a lot of the comedy. We will talk a bit about gay culture in television and film and why he thinks this show offers an alternative to some of the stereotypes we have seen over the years Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of 'Wellmainia' which you can now view on ‘Netflix.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're feeling frazzled with the festive season, then you might want to take a leaf out of Brigid Delaney's new book. The author and senior writer for Guardian Australia says she spent years living a chaotic lifestyle but in 2018 turned her attention to Stoicism, an ancient philosophy which promotes the idea that we shouldn't unnecessarily worry about things outside our control. Drawing on age-old schools of thought, Delaney's book Reasons Not to Worry, How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times offers practical tips for everything from beating FOMO, dealing with pandemic pandemonium and finding inner calm.

Brigid Delaney wishes she'd tapped into stoicism a lot earlier. Its principles have helped her take more risks, worry less, and find tranquility. In a new book, Brigid outlines how this ancient Greek philosophy can be applied to help you in everyday life. I loved wrestling with these ideas. Letting go of hope? Imaging my child dying via 'negative visualisation' so I live in the moment? Difficult stuff!

Yes, we're referring to the spider, and that bit of paper on the ground. The end of this long period of mourning, respect, and reflection has been felt in different ways across different communities.

Mariah Carey revealed she once recorded a grunge album when she unveiled her brilliant biography a couple of years ago. Now she's planning on releasing it with new vocals to the world. And speaking of things we didn't see coming, Nick Cave and Brad Pitt are just like us: they've been doing pottery during lockdown and have something to show for it. We go inside their ceramics exhibition in a Finnish gallery. Told you. Wild week.

This is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.In this special edition, I speak with Emmanuel Jal to discuss War Child, a memoir of his years growing up in Sudan, when his country was being rocked by civil war. Emmanuel was separated from his family and forced to become a child soldier. Up to two million people were killed in this war, and millions more displaced. On the cover of the book, there's a quote of Emmanuel's: “I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story, to touch lives…”Since the publication of his book and release of a film of the same name, Emmanuel has become a World Music & hip-hop artist, and global peace ambassador. He is releasing a new album this month, title track Shangah, which plays in the podcast. Listen up. He'll get you dancing.Please consider supporting your local bookshop.The Wandering Book Collector would like to thank the supporter of this special edition:Asilia — offering authentic East African safari experiences that leave a positive impact on crucial wilderness areasIf you're enjoying the podcast, I'd love you to leave a rating or a review.

The series is inspired by Brigid Delaney's novel Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness and is co-created by Brigid and Benjamin Law. And Bella Hadid has explained why she's returning to Victoria's Secret, despite her own negative experiences modeling for the company and the fact that they've been called out for a lack of inclusivity. But is her reasoning enough to reinvigorate the brand's image? Plus, this week Kanye West made a bold romantic gesture to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, in what looked like a rom-com inspired move to win her back. It did not go well.

It's not a title she chose for herself but one she was given by the media, after a traditional Scandinavian bonfire, or ‘witch burning', turned to violence. The events of that night would divide the community for years to come, with a media circus, a court battle, a protest, and the formation of a ‘council of witches'. Marie speaks to senior writer Brigid Delaney about how she became known as the Witch of Darwin, and the enduring symbolic power of the witch.

Yoga, mindfulness, and detox diets: religion for those who’d never be caught dead in a church? “Not everyone who goes to yoga is a spiritual seeker, but there is a lot of it (in yoga). I think yoga can make you start thinking about things, but it’s not really enough to fill that hole.” Brigid Delaney is a columnist with The Guardian and the author of Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness, in which she recounts her attempt to become clean, lean, and serene through an extreme detox diet, daily yoga practice, and meditation. But Brigid also grew up Catholic. While she’s long been disenchanted with the church, that religious backstory gives her a unique take on wellness culture. She claims that for many young women, yoga is a form of ‘religion-lite’: a practice that addresses the spiritual yearning of those untethered from organised religion. Brigid’s account of wellness culture is haunted by religion in other ways as well. At points in Wellmania, she seems to indirectly quote the Bible. “Maybe I’ve been plagiarising, unintendedly plagiarising the Bible in my work. Or maybe I just listened to enough of it as a kid that it has seeped into some of my thinking.” — Brigid Delaney’s Diary Losing my religion: after the Pell verdict, the conflict for Catholics It’s not you, Bill, it’s the country: is this election Australia’s Trump or Brexit moment?
