Twelve month’s worth of psychological tips from someone you’d want on your team in a crisis
The climate crisis is real, but that doesn’t mean we should waste opportunities to feel good.The climate crisis is real, but that doesn’t mean we should waste opportunities to feel good.his charming self-help book is broken down into 12 seasonally appropriate themes. January is for future-facing resolutions. March is for spring cleaning – mental as well as physical. September is about re-engaging with work, perhaps seeing it differently it after a break.
A Year to Change Your Mind was written during the pandemic and is suffused with an air of staying calm while the world is having a freakout. Maddox feels like a solid companion. She self-discloses, but not too much – just enough to let you know that the person behind all the sensible advice has had a hard time too.
If I have a criticism of the book, it’s that it contains little of the counterintuitive thinking that makes psychology not only exciting but potentially more useful than a chat with a sensible friend. Those who count themselves among the “worried well” probably already have the odd wise confidant to process ideas and feelings with, and are well versed in the notion that life inevitably has its ups and downs.
