Critics Review
Absolutely extraordinary…I needed this book 30 years ago. * Mel Robbins, #1 bestselling author of The Let Them Theory *Praise for the author * - *Full of sound, helpful advice with life skills, from building confidence to managing stress * Sunday Times *It’s so engaging that it’s even led me to switch off my phone for several hours so I can read it, and in this social media-obsessed age, I don’t think I can give a bigger recommendation than that – Bryony Gordon * Telegraph *This book is a goldmine. I truly treat it like a handbook now - when I feel an unpleasant feeling brewing or come up against a tricky moment at work or in my relationships, my first thought is to wonder what Smith might suggest * Stylist *So much advice on such a wide variety of things: it’s brilliant. So helpful * Katie Piper *The book’s great. It’s real, it’s authentic … Very practical and very, very helpful * Lorraine Kelly *Absolutely extraordinary…I needed this book 30 years ago * Mel Robbins, #1 bestselling author of The Let Them Theory *
