Living Better

Superbly readable, supremely useful. Unflinching, clear-eyed, honest, raw and revealing, this book may be the most important achievement of Alastair Campbell’s vivid and varied life. For anyone who has lived with depression or lived with someone who lives with depression BETTER TO LIVE will be indispensable and - potentially - even a life-saver - Stephen Fry

I thought I knew everything there was to know about Alastair but BETTER TO LIVE reveals so much more. It is typical of him to take his own struggles and lay them out so candidly to help those who have depression deal with it and help those who don’t - like me - understand it better. Alastair is living proof that it is possible to have depression and yet achieve so much - Tony Blair

A book about hope and about love and how they can conquer all - Delia Smith

As a fellow sufferer, I found BETTER TO LIVE fascinating, compelling and totally relatable. There were times it moved me to tears, other times it had me smiling and laughing, but above all it made me reflect that I am not alone, and that there are always new things we can do to help others, and to help ourselves. If everyone read and acted on this book, the world would be a better place - Denise Welch, of Coronation Street and Loose Women

BETTER TO LIVE is a profound and moving book and everyone should read it - Johann Hari, author of LOST CONNECTIONS

It is fascinating to see how someone seen as strong and tough can talk so openly about his vulnerabilities. I’ve no doubt that many sportsmen and women will both identify with and learn from BETTER TO LIVE - MARO ITOJE, Saracens and England rugby player
