Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Think deeply, feel deeply—and develop tools to deal with the world as it really is
In a world which can sometimes be challenging, frightening, overwhelming and complex, it's not surprising that sometimes we don't feel okay. This is what makes us human, but so often we are tempted to push those difficult feelings away or distract ourselves. We reach for our phone, we switch on Netflix, we over-work...but when do we stop and think about how we are really doing?
Psychotherapists Jodie Cariss and Chance Marshall, founders of the revolutionary practice Self Space, are passionate about the importance of 'mental maintenance'—the crucial work of looking after our own mental health, every single day. In this book, they unpack assumptions about 'mental illness' and 'mental wellness' to explain why each of us needs to rethink how we look after our mind and give it the attention it deserves.
You'll discover:
- How to resist the temptation to 'Marie Kondo' (tidy up) your feelings
- Ways to embrace your real self, messy bits included, and honour your potential
- The attitudes, everyday habits and non-negotiables that can transform your resilience
A toolkit for dealing with life's biggest challenges in your past, present and future
Their message is clear: when it comes to our mental health, quick-fixes are bullsh*t, but with true understanding and acceptance of yourself, you can thrive (not just survive).
Critic reviews
"As with everything Colm Tóibín sets his masterful hand to, The Magician is a great imaginative achievement—immensely readable, erudite, worldly and knowing, and fully realized." (Richard Ford)
"No living novelist dramatizes artistic creation as profoundly, as luminously, as Colm Tóibín...reading him is among the deepest pleasures our literature can offer." (Garth Greenwell)
"This is not just a whole life in a novel, it's a whole world." (Katharina Volckmer)

Wow!
Thank you so much for writing and publishing this book.
I have used the exercises and it has helped me identify and understand myself better, plus encourage me to stop being so hard and self critical on myself.
Although this is still a work in progress. Old habits die hard ah?!?!
I’m actually in the process of listening to it a second time round. Lots of value information.
I wish it was available when I was a teen, it explains a lot. It also help me Identify, why I people please,
I often do things I don’t want to do, and end up doing them because I don’t want to let people down or for them to think bag of it.
However this causes me to deplete my energy and often feel on the verge of burnout.
I now know I people please mostly for recognition, praise and to feel valued and worthy by others.
I have experience many trials and tribulations in my 39 years, being diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 28 and loosing my mother in February this year, to name a few.
However such is life. These difficulties are what drove me to purchase the book. “How to Grow Through what you go through.” Despite my struggles In life, I have still accomplished so much. It hasn’t been all bad.
Yet, I still battle with imposters syndrome, depression, anxiety. I also have ADHD which was only diagnosed recently in adulthood, that brings its own challenges.
For those of you struggling in life right now, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book.
