A great book to help you understand how your brain is sabotaging you and help you get control of it.
The Art of Being Brilliant

Just a great all round read to get you on the right track to a better life. Great advice with a splash of humour.
Counselling for Toads.
By Robert de Board.
A really sweet book using the characters from Wind in the Willows to illustrate counselling practice. If you’re interested in your child, adult and parent ego states this will be a good starting point.
Families and How to Survive Them.
By Robin Skynner and John Cleese.
If you’re interested in how your family have influenced you with your friends and relationships this is a great one to get started with.
POSITIVE THINKING
Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway.
By Susan Jeffers.
No surprises here, what you get really is in the title. A very straight forward easy read to help you confront your fears in life and get on with living.
The Secret.
By Rhonda Byrne.
This is a small bite size book based on the laws of attraction. We are like magnets pulling our thoughts towards us. Perfect for a quick fix. Keep it handy and dip in and out as required.
You Can Heal Your Life.
By Louise L Hay.
This one is probably the bible of positive thinking books. It’s got it all. It’s especially big on health with a whole section on linking various ailments to thought patterns and suggested mantras to use. Not necessarily ideal for the more scientifically minded but fascinating.
You Can Have It All.
By Arnold M Patent.
A good all rounder, easy to read, I enjoyed it. It links well being and thought processes, very much a positive thinking book.
DIET AND HEALTH.
How Not to Die
By Michael Greger MD
A truly life changing book. Evidence based facts on how to eat for a long and healthy life.
PARENTING.
The Secret of Happy Children.
By Steve Biddulph.
It would be a good idea for this book to come with all babies and then be revisited as required. A good sound grounding in positive parenting. User friendly and in bite
size sections for the exhausted parent.
PHILOSOPHICAL.
The Alchemist.
By Paulo Coelho.
A fable type story of a shepherd boy’s journey of self discovery. Summing up for me the saying that ‘life is a journey not the destination’.
How to be a Buddha in 5 weeks.
By Giulio Cesare.
You don’t have to be religious to read this book. Think of it as a positive thinking philosophy. Buddhism is based on the elimination of suffering so that has to be a good thing. The author makes this so easy to understand and use in a very modern and humorous way. I love this book.
