The 3 Good Podcast: Episode 29 It's ok to have a bad day

In this episode, Sukh shares about why it's ok to have a bad day and not have to artificially find happiness or something to be grateful for. Sometimes it's ok to just experience a bad day / period of time, and allow yourself to process stuff.

Sukh isn't talking about trauma, violence, or anything more significantly harmful. He's talking about when you don't do the things you feel you need to do or you're working on stuff which doesn't get you motivated or you've had an argument or you've received some negative feedback. That stuff.

The 3 Good Podcast: Episode 27 Learning about Thinking Environment

This is a really interesting episode of the podcast where Sukh invites guests Meg Peppin and Sarah Boyd to talk about Thinking Environment. The name comes from work by author and researcher Nancy Kline from her book called Time To Think.

It's a really good exploration of why Meg has invested her time into becoming more of a practitioner in this topic and why Sarah has voraciously consumed the courses over 2018. If you have heard about Thinking Environment and curious to want to learn more about it, this is a helpful podcast to hear from two very interested people in the methodology/theory/thinking.

Special Episode! Reading of Go The F*ck to Sleep

This is a special episode! Sukh was doing some DIY and came across the book - Go The Fuck To Sleep. It's a children's book that's clearly not a children's book. In fact it's NSFW! Do not read this with your children! Listeners who are parents will appreciate this book, I think.

You can get the book on Amazon Go the F**k to Sleep https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0857862650/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_D2orCb18G6RR5

There's a recording of Samuel L. Jackson reading this book which you can catch here https://youtu.be/Udj-o2m39NA
