Poet and actor Lucas Jones reckons it doesn’t really matter whether we call it God, The Universe, spirituality, or science, we all want to believe in the wonder in our world.</p><br><p>In this chat, Fearne and Lucas bond over not being able to do small talk, instead wanting to deeply connect over their big feelings. They also both share their different experiences of having OCD.</p><br><p>Lucas feels therapy is a brilliant thing – he’s really benefitted from CBT – but wonders if the rise in therapy comes from a loss of real community. How can we truly <em>listen </em>to and connect with each other again?</p><br><p>You can buy Lucas’ book of poetry, I Still Believe In Miracles, now.</p><br><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2bd0dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Will Poulter</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/11128e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tuppence Middleton</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/43646b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Poppy Jamie</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
