Elemental: The Universal Art of Mental Health

Elemental: The Universal Art of Mental Health

by PaulReed (Author)

Synopsis

Elemental is a practical self-help book aimed at anyone who has ever known anxiety, stress or depression - and that includes most of us these days. We can all benefit from better mental health and there is a great deal we can achieve through our own efforts. Drawing on his own experiences of mental illness, and many years of study, Paul Reed's easy-to-follow guide is based on a unique blend of Western and Oriental traditions of psychotherapy and healing. The five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void - provide the framework for the book. As Paul himself explains: 'I'm not trying to be any sort of guru, but after nearly twenty years of fighting mental illness, I now consider myself to be an expert by experience . I believe that passing on my experiences and knowledge could help other people. It's not hopeless and you have the power within yourself to recover. I'm living proof!'.
