The Art of Happiness By the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler A hugely helpful read. Practical wisdom on how to overcome everyday human problems and achieve lasting happiness. Essential.
Stop Drinking Now. The original Easyway Method By Allen Carr Now something of a classic. Exposing the false assumptions and beliefs we hold about alcohol and its supposed benefits one by one. Very useful if you are contemplating quitting or cutting down.
Atomic Habits By James clear A huge seller, and for good reason. A study on how building small positive habits and removing those nasty bad habits can reframe your life and outlook on life. I found this massively helpful in the first throes of sobriety.
A Monk’s Guide To Happiness By Gelong Thubten A vital guide to meditation in the 21st century. I found this a wonderful introduction to the practice and benefit of meditation. Useful to debunk our preconceptionsabout what meditation actually is and how we can use and benefit from it. I would recommend this to anyone seeking clarity and calm in a frantic world.
The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald Been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books, and I always come back to this as my favourite novel, in the same way as I come back to The Godfather as my favourite film! See what you think.
