A genuinely helpful wellbeing book backed up by excellent research.

I’m generally not a fan of well-being books, but this is a fantastic guide that gets you to think logically about making yourself feel better. It’s packed with illustrations and analogies that make everything Emma’s trying to say a lot easier to understand. Plus, there’s a few interactive activities where you can write in the book.
A lot of ideas that have been mentioned to help my mental health actually seem achievable and make a lot of sense and are good ideas that I’ll use in the future.

Some.good tips, as to consider happiness as a sandwich, and decide what we use for the base, and what we want for the fillers.
Also, a great Scottish accent, a bit difficult to understand sometimes to my unaccustomed ear, but a pleasure anyway.

I’m not usually one for self-help or wellness books, but this book was simple, light hearted and helpful! I love that there were practical aspects to it with the exercises given within the book to help our mental health, especially the idea and reality of happiness and how to differentiate them.

The final book from this author for me, it was quite nice, but not as awesome as the two I have already read. I love the illustrations and some of the tips were actually good!
