"For readers and worriers everywhere, this is an ode to books, a celebration of reading and a reminder that reading is a happy habit, just for you. "
The delightful Daisy Buchanan, the award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster has pulled it out of the bag again with her new book. Proving she can take her hand to it all, Buchanan acts as your page-turning personal trainer who encourages you to turn the volume down on the increasingly hectic world around you.
She reminds us that within the pages of books, you'll find safety, comfort, joy, escape, adventure. You'll be soothed, moved, challenged and captivated. And there are book recommendations at the end of every chapter too!
The world is full of things to react to and worry about - and sometimes managing our anxiety seems like another exhausting task to add to the list. Buchanan shares that she has always been a worrier and was diagnosed with generalised anxiety order (GAD) aged 24 and for the first time she felt seen and heard.
According to mental health charity Mind, in England, six in every 100 people are diagnosed with GAD every week, and Mental Health UK reports that, in the UK, eight million people are experiencing an anxiety disorder of some kind at any one time.
Join Buchanan on this grand tour of books. This celebration of reading, what she calls the best medicine she knows. She reminds us "a book is the most generous friend we could hope to find. The more I enjoy the uncertainty of stories, the better I get at tolerating uncertainty in life." What a wonderful way to put it. We wholeheartedly agree, and we are so delighted to be in a book-loving gang alongside you. Book lovers are the best people we know.
