Cheryl Rickman is a Sunday Times best-selling author and ghostwriter of 25 self-help, wellbeing and business books and a qualified Positive Psychology Practitioner.

After her parents' lives were cut short, Cheryl Rickman decided to devote her life to helping others make the most of theirs, through the books she writes and the workshops she creates.

She specialises in writing empowering, practical books to help people fret less and flourish more and is a Wellbeing Ambassador for the Network of Wellbeing. Her first self-help book, The Flourish Handbook, was published in 2013.

Books due for publication in 2021 include: Navigating Loneliness: How to connect with yourself and others (a mental health handbook) Foreword by Terry Waite (May 2021), May You Be Well: Everyday Good Vibes for the Spiritual (June 2021) and You Are Enough: Embrace Your Flaws and Be Happy Being You (September 2021)

Her most recent books include: The Happiness Bible, The Little Book of Resilience, The Little Book of Serenity and Be More Wonder Woman.

Having qualified with a Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology in 2016, Cheryl also runs wellbeing retreats and delivers workshops on acceptance, balance and compassion, The ABC of Flourishing™ across the country.

As well as writing books, Cheryl also writes features for a variety of publications including Psychologies and Breathe magazine.

Cheryl wrote her first book, The Small Business Start-Up Workbook, in 2005, which has a Foreword by Dame Anita Roddick and reached the number one spot on Amazon. Since then she's ghostwritten 12 books for business leaders, psychologists and wellbeing experts, as well as penning 13 books of her own.

Her first book for children was published in 2017 after a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding project. Called YES YOU CAN, the book shows kids that all toys, colours, clothes & hobbies are for all children by shining a light on gender stereotypes in a child-friendly way. The book also encourages children to find their spark, do what they love and be proud to be themselves.

Cheryl lives with her partner, James, daughter and two dogs in a country cottage in Hampshire, UK. She is an unashamed tree-hugger and nature-lover, has an overflowing book shelf and her favourite colour is rainbow. She adores pizza and the smell of playdoh, but is not a fan of mushrooms or spiders.

In every chapter you'll find steps you can take and ideas to ponder. You've probably thought of these already, but you may enjoy being reminded of these ideas. The book also demonstrates that one can reframe the experience of loneliness.
