Goodreads review by izzy on March 23, 2022

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......more

Goodreads review by Rashinie on April 29, 2024

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.......more

Goodreads review by Brown on December 10, 2022

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.......more

Loads of great ideas. A number of which I’m also going to introduce to my class.......more

Quotes

In a world of white noise it is often hard to hear - or even find - the mental health support you need. Emma has a unique way of cutting through to the heart of the issues we all face day-in-day-out. There isn't another book out there like this and it should be a mandatory read for anyone with a brain.

Emma helped me understand my own thoughts in a way that resulted in me becoming much more compassionate towards myself. She makes hard scary things feel simpler, and for that I thank her enormously. Her incredible book is going to do the same for so many people. Read this book, feel better, then pass it on.

An essential owner's manual for anyone with a human brain, Emma cuts through the noise, clutter and bad science of social media to deliver a very simple message to us all: you don't have to struggle alone.

This is a fabulous book for anyone who struggles with feeling guilty and overwhelmed by life. It will help you learn how to deal with those emotions in a positive and practical way and in turn be much kinder to yourself.

Emma is relatable, practical and knowledgeable - making her the perfect guide to help you navigate life whilst safeguarding your mental health.

Emma has an amazing talent for making evidence-based psychology easy to understand and simple to put into practice.

As a very visual learner myself, I can really relate to Emma's simple, quirky illustrations that explain what is going on in inside our brains and why we can sometimes behave the way we do. Emma makes understanding our mental health normal and accessible, which empowers us to take control of our inner world and create a sense of wellbeing.

Warm, fun, accessible and important. If you want to understand yourself on a serious level and enjoy yourself at the same time, this is the book for you.
