About this episode

<p>From the U.N.’s International Court of Justice to the bejeweled <em>Strictly</em> ballroom at Blackpool, this week’s guest’s journey to the midpoint has been quite an extraordinary one. Gabby chats with barrister and broadcaster Rob Rinder MBE, ahead of the release of his debut novel <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-trial/rob-rinder/2928377085209" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Trial</em></a>.&nbsp;They talk about everything from why it’s important that we keep in mind the myriad of human reasons why people behave in the way they do, how forgiveness is sacred but is not the same as forgetting and how Rob lives in forgiveness even though his family were victims of the Holocaust, to why he can’t bear the “farting smugness” of some yoga classes and why he will forever be a match-maker and a romantic! Psychotherapist and best-selling author, <a href="https://juliasamuel.co.uk/about-julia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Julia Samuel</a>, also joins to offer an expert view on inherited trauma and behaviours, and practical ways to help you deal with that – which is the focus of her latest book <a href="https://juliasamuel.co.uk/books/everyfamilyhasastory" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Every Family Has A Story</em></a>. </p><br><p>Julia mentions the work of Charles Duhigg around habit forming and you can find out more about his work <a href="https://charlesduhigg.com/the-power-of-habit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
