Ready for Anything

We're all told not to 'sweat the small stuff' but in fact it's often those little annoyances that grind us down, whether it's forgetting your password or a pen leaking in your pocket, daily challenges can build up and overwhelm us.

Based on 20 years of experience, Dr Boardman reveals the key to handling daily stress is vitality - feeling alive, energised and ready for anything. We can cultivate this by connecting with others, engaging in challenging experiences and contributing to something beyond ourselves. Full of research-driven practical advice, this book will transform how we approach self-care. Whether it's doing a favour for someone, learning a new word or writing a letter to a friend, turning your focus outwards rather than inwards is a surer way to lift your mood and support your wellbeing.
