The first few chapters are hard as it speaks of Fearnes own dark times and in a way it feels abit daunting to read when it brings up memories of your own as you nod along saying yep and agreeing to parts. I liked the book because it was beautiful - the kind of Instagram-pretty book that looks lovely on a coffee table in an immaculate appartment.
I realised that I share some of her personality traits and wonder if certain personalities are just more prone to feeling more deeply and being affected by the things around them. I didn’t hate Fearne (I’m not like that at all) I just didn’t warm to her and as such paid little attention to all the wonderful things she has created.
Fearne is a mother of two, and step-mother of two, and closely supports a range of charities - most notably mental health charity Mind, The Prince's Trust and Coppafeel! It was incredibly hard to finish and was so repetitive, Cotton talks about taking care of your mental state and health for beginners - it was all basic stuff I know and didn't provide me with any new insight.
It was refreshing to hear real-life experiences from Fearne, there were sections that you could fill in and will look into doing that some point. This book is one of the better self help books I have read, it can be helpful and effective if you just put in the work.His UK tour in March is sold out and final tickets are available for his headline shows at Alexandra Palace Park (July 19th), Dublin (June 26th) and Halifax Piece Hall (June 30th). Thing is, though I sort of liked this book, it is because I have come through depression and out the other side that I can understand where the advice is coming from. My one lil gripe with this, however, was the "Happy Families" section, which I, personally, felt made the assumption that everyone comes from super-happy, loving families which is certainly (and unfortunately) not the case. In 2005 she joined Radio 1 where she spent 10 incredible years, initially co-hosting morning shows with Reggie Yates and then moving onto the UK Top 40 show before taking over the prestigious weekday morning slot in 2009; here she mixed big celebrity interviews with exclusive acoustic performances in the Live Lounge.
I made the decision at the end of last year that I wanted to start the new year off with a non-fiction read and well. There was a couple of good ideas in the book but I can't imagine personally that this book would be very helpful for anyone suffering from depression but it does have a lot of good reviews. Whether you dip into these pages every now and then when you feel you need it, or use it daily as a positive exercise, I hope it brings you much relief, joy and calm. Maybe following each advice would help me being a bit happier and would make readers less vulnerable to depression - if they surround themselves by a support network and build in habits that may prevent the illness from settling in.From the tips of your toes to the top of your head, each body part can play an important role in helping you feel great.
Whether that’s a yoga expert giving us a few tips on how to take space for ourselves each day, her mum talking about her personal struggles with depression, or celebrity friends like Tom Fletcher talking about his own battles with mental health. If I ever have to read how grateful she is for having kids and her career and husband and family I will throw up. Overall I think this book is a perfect starting point, especially for a more modern younger generation as it covers more apt topics such as social media, comparison, and friendship groups moving on. It is written simply and in a straightforward way but it still takes some time to go through as there are quite a lot of thinking points to consider. Absolutely lovely reading a book about depression written by someone that’s suffered not a doctor who knows about it all, but really doesn’t know how it feels to be depressed.Tapping Queen’ Poppy Delbridge shares a simple way to unlock the potential we already have inside us. Tristemente con este libro me costó muchísimo trabajo porque aunque lo que comparte son consejos prácticos, en mi caso lo sentí como más un workbook que un libro para lectura y al tenerlo digital para mi simplemente no funcionó. Secondly, at the start it says "Within these pages you’ll hear me talk about what depression feels like for me", this isn't true. I love the idea that Happy has a companion journal to work through and learn from while focusing on what matters to you. When I think of Fearne Cotton, I always remember her as the loud and confident presenter of morning tv.
Great Deal
