How do we stay strong and resilient in a world where the obsession with image and lifestyle has reached fever pitch?
Never have young women been under so much pressure. We're bombarded with unrealistic images of perfection - and it's taking a major toll on our physical and emotional wellbeing. We're supposed to be working out, eating clean, deliriously happy and successful, with the perfect relationship, career and body. No wonder so many of us are experiencing a wide range of mental health problems.
Emma Woolf offers positive strategies and tools for coping with modern life, eating well and feeling great, dealing with setbacks and heartbreak and hanging on to your self-esteem and mojo at all costs. Whatever challenges you might be facing, you'll find Wellbeing inspiring, practical and relatable.
Topics include social media, clean eating, healthy sleep, nutrition and exercise, tackling depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
This is a really comprehensive yet light touch book in all things well being ranging from sleep to exercise to social media. Woolf’s tone is that of a friendly teacher or Aunt who is trying to guide you to the right path and it’s certainly an easy read. The formula is rather repetitive: introduce a topic, provide anecdotal evidence from a interviews, provide some research and facts, then some tips to help improve that topic which makes for very light reading. Her advice is a lot of what you’ll know already but with sprinkles of new suggestions and pep talking.
Overall not a bad book if you’re looking for a unpreachy easy read to offer some improvements to your life in different areas.
