✨ About the Book✨
We’ve all heard advice for physical longevity – the steps we can take with our nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices to maximise our number of years on earth. But what about our mental longevity? How do we fill those years with a better understanding of who we are and how our mind works? How do we achieve deeper happiness, better relationships and a life lived according to our values?
Drawing from the wide array of topics covered in their popular mental health podcast Minding Your Mind, psychiatrist Ian Hickie and broadcaster and author James O’Loghlin bring their signature compassion and curiosity, intelligence and humour, to this practical ‘user’s guide’ to our evolving mind and selves.
It takes an empowering, holistic approach to mental health, acknowledging that every season of life brings its own ups and downs, unique challenges and breakthroughs. Feelings of anxiety, stress, self-doubt, loss, longing and stagnation are inevitable, but those times are also opportunities to find out what works for us, so that we not only ‘get by’ but actually flourish.
Whether you’re looking for a wealth of practical tools to carry with you through the tough times, or want to develop an overall strategy for lasting mental wellbeing, A User’s Guide to the Mind meets you wherever you are along life’s journey.
