Ep 019: Stargazing with astronomer Paul Haworth | How to Thrive Winter Series

This episode with astronomer Paul Haworth is the ninth in our series on how to thrive this coming Covid winter. We know winter can be tough at the best of times let alone during a global pandemic, but mindset is everything.

Suzy has rounded up a gaggle of inspirational winter-lovers and Paul's love of, and curiosity about, star gazing will rub off on you. As he says, you don't need fancy equipment or to be in a particular location in the world, you just need a clear sky and a bit of enthusiasm. As he also explains, it's one of the most wondrous, grounding things you can do to get your life back in perspective and - bonus - it's available to us all, like creativity.
