Hey there, it's Rohan. While Earth Day may only be one day in April, we can find ways to

celebrate the natural world every day of the year. Perhaps you listen to Varshani Prakash's

meditative story about this very topic. So, I want to tell you about another podcast that

helps me cultivate this mindset. It's called The Science of Happiness. On each episode,

psychologists, daka-caldma and guests explore big questions like how can we tune into feelings

of awe and can hope lead to action? The Science of Happiness podcast explores where climate,

hope and science intersect. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

If you could go back in time, if I gave you a magic time machine and you could go back and talk

to yourself to that iron, who's a little bit young, who's learning getting a bit annoyed and

frustrated, what would you tell him? You can never do it first try, but if you're good to know

this, you'll still get it in the future, but I know. That is a good message for that iron, isn't it?

Yeah.

Over the Easter holidays, I had the good fortune to go away with my family for a week in the sun.

We went to Tenorif, an island of Spain off the west coast of Africa. It was beautifully warm,

and along with the war cup of volcano, discovering a black sand beach,

watching the kids try out a new set of disco moves. I think what my wife and I enjoyed the most

was a few days of not having to do a single chore. Heaven indeed.

That said, it was a particularly special holiday for my seven year old son, who was trying to do a brave new thing.

Iron's been working hard on his swimming over the past year,

specialising mainly in breaststroke, but also finding time to develop the backwards jellyfish,

which is much harder than he makes it look I can tell you.

And for this week, he was determined. I'm going to get so good, Daddy, that I can swim by myself.
