Well Mind: The Tools for Attaining Mental Wellbeing

by Lisa Parkinson Roberts

A Well Mind provides a wholistic approach to mental wellness by showing how the processes of looking after your body can complement those of looking after your mind. Recent research has shown that through improving our eating, sleeping, and exercise habits, we can experience physical health benefits which lead to feeling better in our mind. In this guide, these processes are presented and explained clearly, ensuring they are accessible to anyone who wishes to improve their overall wellbeing.

Author Lisa Parkinson Roberts has struggled with bipolar disorder for most of her life. Having found successful methods for coping, she aims to share these tools and her academic expertise with others. The result is a comprehensive guide to improving your wellbeing by eating well and maintaining healthy routines. Nutrition, sleep, stress management and exercise are investigated as tools to achieve optimal mental health and to help you to regain control of how you feel.

Amidst a plethora of books on physical wellbeing and fitness, A Well Mind is a key step in the emergence of books with a primary focus on achieving mental wellness. We all want to feel better and thrive, rather than merely survive. However, our busy modern lives and altered food supply makes this difficult to achieve. Shaped by personal experience, this is the essential guide to feeling the best that you can in your mind.

I loved this book. I will keep it to refer to in the future. I love the ‘food is medicine’ approach, the reference to gratitude, the real life stories and the back to basics approach of this author. Plus it’s so much more real because she’s lived it. I got the book unexpectedly as a bonus for a vitamin order I did from ANC and was pleasantly surprised when it was such an easy read. Plus someone must have known it was time for me to take better care of myself.

Brilliant book, over half way through and have learnt so much.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants an understanding of how to find balance not only on an emotional and mental level but as an individual.
What I have learnt so far, is to listen to my body. There are so many things trying to get our attention, telling us what to eat, what is healthy etc...This book offers not only facts but links so many aspects of the self together particularly the body, mind emotion connection

This book led me to be proactive about seeking mental wellness for myself. I am grateful.
