A really good book that covers in a highly digestible way everything that you need to know about stress and how to manage it. If you listen on Audible, you’ll experience the hypnotic tones of the author; that’s calming in itself!

Some people do find this book a bit repetitious but the central point is well made and that’s that it’s the small things, maintained, that make all the difference. So it is with health and resilience. It’s not the one off faddy diet that will bring you lasting results, it’s the accretion of marginal gains.

Is one thing to acknowledge that conditions such as IBS are made much worse or perhaps caused by stress but did you realise that even you think and feel is influenced by the billions of microbes that live in your gut? Your gut contains more neurons than the brain of a cat and there are more linkages from your gut to your brain than vice versa! No wonder we talk of a “gut reaction”!

This one includes a free CD and guided meditations as well. It’s also great as an audiobook. MINDFULNESS reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break the cycle of unhappiness, stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion and promote genuine joie de vivre. It’s the kind of happiness that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life can throw at you with new courage. The book is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). MBCT revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and it is recommended by the UK’s National Institute of Clinical Excellence – in other words, it works. More importantly, it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MINDFULNESS focuses on promoting joy and peace rather than banishing unhappiness. It’s precisely focused to help ordinary people boost their happiness and confidence levels whilst also reducing anxiety, stress and irritability

From a really interesting author: part scientist and part Buddhist monk. Endless wisdom.

The 1962 classic. Still as relevant as ever. There’s a strong argument that we need more “being” and less doing in order to stay resilient. We are more than our most recent achievements!

We’ve been to one of Ed’s workshops and it was rather good. This is an interesting team effort with a medical doctor. Well worth a read.

A 1970s classic – as fresh as ever. A great description of how we can hold ourselves back and what to do about it. A good one to read alongside Coaching for Performance by Whitmore.

A light read and with some useful resources. Easy to digest; an anecdotal and practical guide with lots of common sense advice from a “happiness guru”.

From one of the founding directors of UK consultancy, Lane4, a pithy analysis of how to not only survive stress but also thrive in a pressured environment. A great read.
