Some weeks back I highlighted a series of books (Quick Reads) from the Reading Agency for World Book Night 2025. Now, it’s not taken me all this time to read these last two, but they are certainly worth a look. Try your library first – they should have both of them.
First is Cathy Rentzenbrink’s Write It All Down or How to put you life on the page. If the thought is daunting, horrifying or seemingly impossible, this is a useful checklist. So before you rush ahead and run out of ideas by the age of 6, it’s certainly worth reading it cover to cover first. It will certainly clarify whether you really want to go down this road!
The second useful tome is Dr Alex George’s The Mind Manual. As he says this is a complete mental fitness toolkit and, therefore, you need to exam what each part is designed to do before you find your anxiety levels rising. So again, read through and see what it entails. Then, if you need to boost your mental fitness, work though the manual. George doesn’t paint a very rosey picture of himself at the start, so clearly there’s a lot of hope in here.
