Book of the Week: The Heart of Well-Being
This slender volume (much more readable than acres of words) with its two CDs is one of the few self-help guides worth having. Written by hypnotherapist and cancer survivor Jan Alcoe with GP Dr Craig Brown, chair of the British Holistic Medical Association, it never fails to provide support ‘for surviving and thriving’, as the subtitles has it. Today’s message? Lighten up! (For how to, read the book.)
