Andy is back - and this time he's not in his car.

After two seasons of recording on his iPhone in a layby, Andy has finally splashed out on a proper studio.

To mark the occasion, Andy has roped in two of his Art of Being Brilliant co-conspirators, Will Hussey and Hannah Knowles, for a riff on something deceptively simple: top wellbeing tips you haven't heard before.

Spoiler: Will's first tip is to stop listening to wellbeing tips. Andy's a little bit thrown. Things go from there.

What follows is three trainers who actually know each other thinking out loud about what works, what stops working, and the gap between knowing the stuff and doing it.

In this episode:

• Why other people's tips will only ever get you 75% of the way there
• Hannah's case for a non-self-improvement day (yes, including a day off from the self-help books)
• Will on rebranding "wellbeing" as "human-being" - and why eat, move, sleep is still doing most of the heavy lifting
• The Olympian's rule that's rewired Hannah's mornings: I'll go first
• Andy on habituation, déjà moo, and why his 2008 toothache trick eventually stopped working
• Reasons vs excuses - and why Will is on day 1,411 of running

No big claims. No four-step framework. Just three people having a proper conversation about how to be a bit more brilliant on a Monday.

Take what works, leave what doesn't, have a play.

What if Christmas itself needed rescuing… from Santa?!

In this special end-of-season episode, Andy welcomes his traditional guest: Santa. Except this year, something’s... off.

Santa sounds robotic, obsessed with efficiency, and surprisingly keen on replacing elves with 3D printers. Before long, AI Santa is talking KPIs, surveillance elves, and children asking for tactical flamethrowers. Christmas is on the brink - optimised, automated, and completely soulless.

Just when things get properly Black Mirror, the real Santa bursts in, boots stomping, jingles flying, to shut down his malfunctioning metallic twin. What follows is classic Santa wisdom... that happiness is getting drowned out by noise, presence matters more than presents, and joy doesn’t need upgrading. AI might be clever... but only humans know how it feels to be truly connected.

The episode wraps with both Santa's giving their verdict on what we need most this year - and spoiler... only one of them gets the answer right.

A funny, warm, surprisingly moving Christmas finale about slowing down, switching off, and remembering that the real magic isn’t in the tech... it’s in each other.

What if “feeling fine” isn’t the finish line… but the warning light?

In this episode, Andy records from Windsor (with a much cheaper parking rate this time) to unpack one of the biggest myths about happiness... that it’s just positive thinking with a smiley sticker on top.

What follows is a fast, funny reality check on modern life - the low-level Monday-morning glumness, the commotion, the sense that your get-up-and-go quietly got up and left.

Andy lays out the classic wellbeing scale (from -10 to +10) and explains why most of us are wobbling around the “mildly happy...ish” zone while the modern world keeps nudging us downward.

He also dusts off the story of a sceptical delegate who once told him a PhD was “just a long essay on positive thinking,” which gives Andy the perfect excuse to explain what a PhD actually is, why positive thinking isn’t enough, and why psychology has spent 150 years trying to fix brokenness instead of studying brilliance.

And that’s where he lands the big idea... traditional psychology is a life-saver - it pulls people from -9 back to zero.

But positive psychology? That’s a life-enhancer! It explores what takes people from “I’m fine” to “I’m thriving”

If you’ve ever wondered why some people radiate energy while the rest of us cling to ‘mustn’t grumble,’ this one will help you find the switch.
