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.

What a great book that encompasses everything you need to know and reflect on in life. I found it really thought provoking and a really helpful structure by way of summarising and actions that you can take forward. Thanks so much for sharing with the world!
