Worth a listen

As someone suffering from depression and anxiety hearing a breezy voice making suggestions can be irritating and trite. But it is absolutely worth listening to good advice. The suggestions you have probably heard before but the theme is important habits that eventually need to become part of your life. I have practiced some of these suggestions in the past and they do work to an extent and this is a reminder to follow good habits and keep the demons away!

Loved all 3 books

Fabulous narration by SB my fav
Loved main character but his name sounded so similar to Ealdorman Byrhtnoth, in the heat of battles i had to listen carefully as to who was being referred to!
Looking forward to the sequel

Some excellent points raised

After being locked down for so long listening to a book such as this was just the right thing at the right time. Well done.

Excellent!

This course gave me so much more than just stating the obvious. I almost felt he was right beside me, knowing me and talking to me personally about my struggles. He has very much insight, great tips and gave me a new perspective on many things. He also used many examples of other peoples struggles which made me feel more normal and not alone. Now just hearing his voice makes me feel better. Highly recommended!

Amazing Work

This is another great production from the Doctor. He goes in depth on why we always make excuses for say we are going to do something and we do not. And helps with ways in changing our thinking and mindset to getting the job done.
