Episode 9 of 12

Ólafur Arnalds shares relaxing music to help you rest and recover from burnout. Plus the Icelandic singer Laufey shares her musical safe haven.

It seems that more and more of us are suffering from burnout - a state of mental, physical and emotional exhaustion.

Ólafur Arnalds invites you to take this hour of Ultimate Calm as a breather from the stresses of your everyday life. He reflects on his own relationship to pressure and burnout, and shares music that feels like taking a deep breath including tracks from Voces8, Cephas Azariah and Alice Sara Ott.

Plus we hear from the Icelandic singer, pianist and cellist Laufey on the song that brings her ultimate calm - a classical piece from childhood that always reminds her of home.
