SELF-HELP, NO JARGON

All too often, mental-health help books are written by very clever psychologists in a ‘therapy language’ we don’t understand. TikTok sensation Dr Julie Smith’s Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before* is an exception. Relatable, real and easy to digest, it covers everything from understanding low mood to emotional pain, self-doubt and anxiety as if your wise best friend is chatting to you. An essential mental-health bible for adults and teenagers.
