We all want a life worth living. The search for
‘the good life’ has been a driving force for humanity throughout history. But
what exactly is a ‘good life’? For too long psychologists have concerned
themselves solely with helping the mentally unwell – those who suffer from
depression, anxiety and a range of other mental health problems. However, psychologists
have recently begun to focus on mental health,
not just mental ill health, on happiness as well as unhappiness.
Drawing on the latest
research in the area of positive psychology, and using a practical,
down-to-earth style with real-life stories, Shane Martin teaches us how to
bolster our mental health in order to be as happy and resilient as we can be. In
Your Precious Life, he guides us
along the path to optimal mental health and inner happiness, focusing on:
Rational thinking
Compassion
Gratitude
Savouring
Resilience
Community and belonging
Mindfulness
The importance of a healthy body – diet, exercise
and sleep
Martin believes that everyone can use the tools
of psychology to improve their happiness. We should not wait for a crisis
before learning to address this crucial part of our well-being, but take
proactive steps towards mental wellness. Your Precious Life will appeal to
anyone who wants to ensure that the one life we have is a good one.
