a therapeutic journey

*FINAL SALE - HOLIDAY POP-UP ITEM*

Written by Alain de Botton, this is a guide to happiness and mental well-being, a tool to help you understand yourself and plot your way to emotional maturity. At heart this is a book about happiness – about regaining the thread of our lives, rediscovering meaning, and finding our way back to connection, warmth and joy. A Therapeutic Journey is a collection of essays about mental challenge and health. Written with kindness, knowledge and sympathy, it is a practical guide to well-being and a source of consolation and companionship in what might be some of our loneliest, most anguished moments. Alain de Botton explores how we can cope with a variety of forms of mental pain and illness, from the mild to the severe. It considers how and why we might become ill; how we can explain things to friends, family and colleagues; how we can find our ways towards recovery; and how we can build resilience, so as to live wisely alongside our difficulties.
