Immediately from the first chapter, Nahid de Belgeonne spoke to me. The parallels between De Belgeonne's early life and my own were palpable as were the responses to the same. To this end, the audiobook had my absolute and undivided attention

De Belgeonne's book reminds me of the Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) practices that have been gaining traction in professional settings ( I am not talking as a health professional, this is anecdotal and from a participant perspective) But I digress, this audiobook is relevant and well-placed in time. De Belgeonne describes the current stresses on people in contemporary soceity and how they, in addition to our life experience, creates high levels of pressure, stress, anxiety and mental turmoil

Part autobiography, part guidance - this is an audiobook for today, for now. Essential listening for a calmer day

Thank you very much to Netgalley, Profile Books Audio, Souvenir Audio and the incredible Nahid de Belgeonne for this unbelievably resonant ALC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own
