The BBC’s self-appointed top broadcaster Alhan Gençay discovers how we can keep our minds healthy when everything around us is going sideways. First up he speaks to his mate Lily Allen to hear how she’s coping with a post-Covid world. Then he gets spiritual with legendary Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Tharpa, who helps us look for inner peace. Finally, Alhan steps out of this world with the astronaut Tim Peake, hearing about his experiences on the International Space Station.
