About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Navigating day-to-day life can be a tricky business. By the time we are adults, our experiences have formed our way of thinking and we have learned patterns of behaviour that are not always helpful. We must unravel these to understand, accept, nurture and allow ourselves to rise with our vulnerabilities, not in spite of them.

After having a breakdown in 2011, Will Young went about the process of interrogating everything he thought he knew: how he formed his identity, what he relied on for self-esteem and how he behaved and communicated. Everything he has learned over the past 10 years, he has now condensed into this easy to access A-Z guide. He digs into how everyday life can affect our wellbeing, how we can navigate our emotions, where they come from and how to create a balanced mindset, offering practical techniques we can all use to ground ourselves and set boundaries.

With wit and wisdom and revealing his own vulnerabilities along the way, Will shows us how to identify destructive patterns, develop good mindful habits, be true to who we are and grow into better versions of ourselves.

I didn't really expect to like this book so much, however I found it so thought provoking, and relatable, with some great advice added to the mix. I also really enjoyed listening to Will narrate his own experiences, but (and;) was a little sad when the book ended. I would really recommend.

Surprisingly Good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be re-reading. I have listened to a number of these type of books and found this comprehensive in breadth, with enough explanation to explain concepts but not going excessively deep, that'll be the reader's choice to pursue if felt appropriate is my view. I respected and appreciated the bravery in sharing of some of his stories to illustrate examples together with the fictional examples used and suggested resources. I personally found the way this was audibly delivered easy to digest and relate to - it makes such a difference when the author narrates. Thank you Will Young for taking the time to share your experiences and knowledge to help others. Well worth reading.
