Overview

The latest book written by Rachel Munns helps adults to identify and combat the common causes of everyday mental health problems. With this book everyone can get practical help and guidance before stress begins to cause major health and social problems. Rachel explains...""Inspired by my own family experiences as a mother, daughter and wife, five years ago I set out to create the materials and techniques that could genuinely help others to combat the everyday stress caused by relationships, social media, workplace and other pressures. My previous experience as a TV presenter, reporter and trainer gave me the research and writing skills to produce a book that I believe can genuinely make a difference to anyone who has been or is being impacted by stress-related mental health issues."" Published in June 2020, 'The Circus of Life' (Adult Edition) is largely based on a highly-successful workshop that Rachel developed and has successfully presented at schools and businesses throughout the country. In the opening chapter, the book introduces Rachel as 'The Ringmaster' and gives her reasons behind writing the book. She then describes the many similarities between performing well at the circus and performing well in life, for example, juggling priorities and balancing different demands. The book then carefully explains the causes and symptoms of stress and anxiety, in a language everyone will understand and presented in a way that they will not feel intimidated, patronised or frightened by. Subsequent chapters then invite the reader to complete a 'Big Top' model, that helps them to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, and guide them into self-administered positive changes that will give them increased resilience to stress-related issues, and greater success in relationships and personal performance. Finally, there is an appendix that gives further explanation on specific issues such as eating disorders and depression, with a comprehensive list of tailored support services and charities that are available online and/or by phone. The Circus of Life is receiving excellent reviews from all those that have read the bbok and adopted some of the strategies and lifestyle changes it offers.

Finally, a book I can recommend to my clients that compliments the work that I do in my therapy room! I love the balance of explanation, reassurance and actions to take, which I'm sure will help people to understand how much control they can have over their own mental wellbeing. Rachel's words are both inspiring and empowering creating the perfect environment for positive change Caroline Prout, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist A wonderful blend of gentleness and honesty. Rachel is relatable, authentic and her voice comes through clearly. She is well positioned as an authority in the subject of stress, but in a way that is not condescending or superior. My overall impression of the book is that it is an easy read combined with real work. My husband should definitely read this! Jennifer D'Amato, BS Psychology, Life Coach, USA Inspirational, Educational and Practical. A must read because we all have challenges in our lives at various times and this book gives quick, simple and effective tools. Resilience, the perfect gift for everyone. Lindsey Charlesworth, MA(HRM), HR Specialist Mental health is one of the central issues of our time, and the world seems to be full of self-professed 'experts' who claim to have 'the answers'. Occasionally, however, someone comes along who really is an expert, who cares passionately about mental health and wellbeing, and who has the knowledge, life experience and personality to make a real difference. Rachel Munns is indubitably one of those people, and The Circus of Life is proof of that. Kendal Mills, Deputy Head (Pastoral), Stamford School
