My Idea of Heaven - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

John Gray muses on what his idea of heaven is....and why it shouldn't be a perfect world.

History teaches us that trying to create a perfect society leads to hell on earth, he writes."But dreams of a perfect world don't fail because human beings are incurably flawed. They fail because human beings are more complicated and interesting that their dreams of perfection".
