TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MIND

FOR A 1-/APPIER, 1-/EALT/-IIER LIFE

Understanding human behaviour and mental processes, whether our


own or those belonging to others, is essential if we want to make better
decisions and lead happier lives. Why do we feel certain emotions in
specific situations? W hy do we behave in particular ways? And what can
we do to overcome the things that hold us back? Delve into the world of
psychology and build a better relationship with your mind. Learn how to
be kind to it, unlock its full potential and use it to your advantage.
In the pages that follow, we explore 10 mysteries of the mind, the
negative impact of reality TV, how to eat more mindfully, and the
complexities of memory. We consider ways to improve our mental
health, from learning how to say no, to developing a positive body image,
as well as suppressing our inner critic and overcoming social anxiety. We
also look at the science behind certain concepts, such as stress, fear,
imagination, emotions, body language and much more. Packed full of
expert guidance from psychologists, counsellors and other professionals,
we also speak exclusively to TV presenter Julia Bradbury about how the
great outdoors is a natural therapist, particularly for our children.
The mind is a powerful tool. Learn how to take control of your own mind
today for a happier, healthier tomorrow.
