But recognising ourselves when we're well can do a lot to help us identify what can go awry. Written with his signature kindness and empathy, this book is Alain de Botton's practical guide to caring for our mental health - from the acts of self-care in which we find respite to the help which psychotherapy can bring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMental illness is as common, and as unshameful, as its bodily counterpart. We should be no more reluctant to seek help than we are if we develop a chest infection or sore knee - and we are no less worthy of love and sympathy in those moments. This book is a reminder of that.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722403172510,"sku":"UBD-9780241999417","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241999417.jpg?v=1776318714","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241999417","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
