"How to build the resilience and mental fitness needed to lead happy lives"
In his new book, mental health ambassador Dr Alex George (you might recognise him as a Love Island contestant) sets out a series of steps young people can take to help them build the resilience and the mental fitness they need to lead happy lives, now and in their futures. And what more do we wish for our children than happiness?
With lots of references to his own childhood and in an appealing, upbeat tone, he explains how to develop the kind of ‘happy habits’ that will help readers achieve the things they want. What’s more, he shows how we can make these habits automatic and therefore easy and fun.
His ‘happy habits’ cover exercise, healthy food and sleep, with a particularly useful section on screen time; There are chapters too on homework, creativity as a way of unleashing joy, as well as connection and reflection. Each chapter has ‘habit hacks’ to help you check and maintain your progress. A book that could really make a difference.
