Nurture Your Body, Mind & Spirit

'Fascinating' Psychologies
'A brilliant read' Happiful
'A really, really, really, really good book' Liz Jones, You magazine podcast

How much do you enjoy your life?

Does life feel dull? A bit grey?

Do you feel as if your emotions have flatlined?

This is anhedonia – a word only a few of us have heard of but one that explains why so many of us feel we are sleepwalking through life.

Anhedonia is from the Greek word for 'without pleasure' and describes a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It explains why many of us spend our lives in a fog, feeling neither happy nor sad, just not very much at all.

In the first book to tackle this missing piece in mental health, writer Tanith Carey joins the dots on how convenience culture, stressful lifestyles, modern diets and both female and male hormonal changes can dial down our ability to feel excitement and joy.

With the help of world-leading experts and by digging into the latest research, Tanith shows you how your brain's dopamine reward system works and provides strategies to help you bring colour back into your life.

Groundbreaking, accessible and often surprising, this is the book that will teach you how to kickstart your feel-good chemicals and start loving life again.

You don't need to devote hours to work on your wellbeing: you can improve your life by taking just 1% of your day to focus on your mental and emotional health.

There are 1440 minutes in every 24 hours, subtract the optimal 8 hours of sleep and you're left with 960 minutes. 1% of those 960 minutes is just under 10 minutes.

This book invites you to enter into a month-long experiment: use 1% of your day for 1 month to focus on you. The micro-gain challenges in the book are designed to improve your mood and increase your happiness without, crucially, taking up your valuable time.

Challenges include establishing boundaries and saying no, dealing with your inner critic, overcoming anxiety and comparison.

By the end of the month you will have created your own bespoke kit of tools that lower your stress, strengthen your connections, instil calm and increase your joy.

"A deep joy to read and bring to life. Watch the benefits ripple out broadly!"

Diet Starts Monday is a no-BS guide to body acceptance in a looks-obsessed world.

Plus-size TV personality and body confidence advocate Laura Adlington has struggled with her weight (and the weight of other people's opinions) her entire life.

By undoing negative ingrained beliefs about beauty and value, and focusing on building inner confidence, Diet Starts Monday will empower you to live a fun and full life – whatever your size.

'Sensitively and seriously exploring mental health stereotypes' Stylist

This is NOT a book of rules or statistics.

It will NOT tell you what you can and can't say to someone with a mental health problem – or to anyone for that matter.

It WILL increase your understanding and empower you to stop stigma in its tracks.

Take a deep-dive into some of the most harmful mental health stereotypes with mental health advocate and author Lucy Nichol.

Lucy exposes 10 of the most harmful mental health stereotypes and explores the impact of social media, the power of the press and how mental health is represented in popular culture.

With the help of experts and the voices of those affected by these harmful perspectives, Lucy makes a case for how we can dismantle stigma once and for all.
