Each one of us wants to protect and nurture our loved ones. But if a friend or family member is grappling with a mental illness, it's likely there will have been times when you have felt powerless to help.Having spent years in psychiatric hospitals, Gisel Josy has learned that ultimately, recovery is a decision - a choice that a patient must make. But the first steps are rarely made alone; loved ones can provide the incentive needed to help someone start on the road to full recovery. Through detailing her own struggles with borderline personality disorder and Anorexia Nervosa, Gisel is determined to answer the questions that people might have about such an experience, from her perspective as a survivor. What exactly makes recovery feel so tough? Why might someone appear to be choosing not to recover? There are still many misinterpretations surrounding issues with mental health, which Gisel is passionate about dispelling. This book is more than an informative memoir; it is a heartfelt personal story, which the author hopes will impact on many people's lives, for the better.

'A persuasive case for being honest about your weaknesses - and shows how that can be a source of strength'Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again'Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues' ConfuciusHumility. Understated, undervalued and very much underused; but understood and carried out effectively, it can be the most powerful and influential trait we have at our fingertips.In Humble, Daryl Van Tongeren, PhD, a leading researcher into the science of humility gives this unassuming trait a much-needed rebrand, explaining why the humble enjoy a more secure sense of self, handle challenges better, and, indeed, are often the people we like the most.It seems that we are becoming more and more polarized, and narcissism is on the rise. We live egocentric lifestyles, often driven inward. Can cultivating more humility be the antidote to a more and more self-centred world?In its true sense, humbleness is the happy medium between self-denial and self-obsession: It grants the holder an accurate view of reality. By seeing where we have room to improve, we can grow. By admitting our doubts, we can learn. And by acknowledging our own worldview as one among many, we can truly connect with others despite our differences.A thought-provoking call to reexamine our values, Humble signals a paradigm shift - from the frenzied 'self-esteem movement' to a better world in which we lift one another up.
