Critic reviews

The book's great. It's real, it's authentic . . . Very practical and very, very helpful (Lorraine Kelly)
I'm blown away by her ability to communicate difficult ideas with ease, simplicity and practicality. Amazing. Go and buy it now! (Jay Shetty)
Such a brilliant book (Steven Bartlett)
It's so engaging that it's even led me to switch off my phone for several hours so I can read it, and in this social media-obsessed age, I don't think I can give a bigger recommendation than that (Bryony Gordon)
Very helpful (BBC Radio 2)

Like a personal therapist

I loved this. Listened to a chapter before bed every night and felt like Julie was talking to just me. Some really simple and (should be) obvious things, but like her clients I just didn’t know what was normal and how brains work. Feel inspired and have changed a lot as a result. Thank you

Self Help

A bit different from the other self help books that get a bit repetitive! Good story telling and great tips.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Will Help you So Much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is so easily the best book to get your head around upstanding yourself and helping understand alot about what tools to use and put in place and practice, so when it does come to those challenging days weeks ect you have what it takes to cope and move faward. The way that it is broken down really helps you resonate with Dr Julie Smith, since I have came across her helpful short clips on YouTube I have sheared spoken about to many people that are chuggerling and have nothing but positive feed back, she has helped me and many others and so many more to come 😊.

This will be read / played many times due to the wealth of advise and knowledge that is packed into this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
