APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The debut book by social-media-famous clinical psychologist Dr Julie Smith, who has garnered a considerable online following for her short videos on mental health, will appeal to both ardent fans and people who have never set thumb on TikTok. Backed up by both research and her years of professional experience, it offers a matter-of-fact, accessible guide to nurturing your mental health—with a focus on building up the kind of resilience that can help us to weather turbulent times—and covers everything from harnessing stress to living with grief. There are no silver bullets here, no empty promises of eternal happiness if you embrace this one surprising trick. Instead, you’ll find plenty of practical techniques and exercises that feel manageable, rather than overwhelming. This is a book that encourages us to understand our minds, bodies and emotions, and how they interact on good days and bad.
Customer Reviews
Great book to find yourself back on the right path to good health
The book has done a great job on covering issues such as mental health, how to deal with anxiety, how to understand your feelings and so much more. Some of the content did seem to be repeated but it seemed to be used in a way which made sense. However, she could’ve fused 2 different points into one as the basis was the same. Other than that, great book which I would recommend.
Amazing book with amazing tools and prompts
Amazing book with amazing tools and prompts to help you think about different aspects of your life. I can honestly say this book has helped me grow and work on my mental health.
Overrated
Extremely overrated. Very basic.
