Reviews
Having worked with several hundred people with depression over the course of my career, I have always sought stories to help them make sense of their experiences. I am really pleased to now have Jacs' story in my toolkit. I will be recommending Jacs' book to individuals and families to help connect them and guide them through their depression hole to find their light again. -- From the foreword by Dr Emma Hepburn, clinical psychologist, author and illustrator of A Toolkit for Your Emotions, @thepsychologymum
This book feels like a warm, witty chat with a friend who actually gets it. This isn't your typical self-help book - it's practical, relatable and genuinely uplifting. Jacs combines humour, empathy and lived experience in a way that's refreshingly human. This is the book that I needed, and still need sometimes when life feels impossible. It's written with the kind of humour that someone who has survived depression can immediately recognise and find a strange amount of comfort in. I'd recommend it to anyone who has been touched by depression in any way. -- Sophia Kaur Badhan, award-winning mental health activist and co-author of The Depression Journal Having worked with several hundred people with depression over the course of my career, I have always sought stories to help them make sense of their experiences. I am really pleased to now have Jacs' story in my toolkit. I will be recommending Jacs' book to individuals and families to help connect them and guide them through their depression hole to find their light again. -- From the foreword by Dr Emma Hepburn, clinical psychologist, author and illustrator of A Toolkit for Your Emotions, @thepsychologymum I'm familiar not with depression but its close kin, grief, and this engaging, personal, practical guide to finding a way through to a full and sustainable life strikes more than a few chords. -- Catherine Mayer, bestselling author, journalist, activist and speaker
