What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Our life stories can be summarised in certain key pivotal moments. This charming book distils those moments into a small set of choices that science has shown reliably lead to life expansion or life contraction. Structured as an adventure created by the choices made, the reader gets a chance to acquire wisdom far beyond their years by focusing on what is most important: opening up, becoming aware, and moving toward your values. Give it to a young person you love: they may thank you someday for it. Highly recommended’ - Steven C. Hayes, foundation professor of psychology, University of Nevada and co-developer of acceptance and commitment therapy
‘Dr. Scarlet’s Therapy Quest is an innovative and fresh approach to taking care of your mental health. It’s interactive, insightful and genuinely fun.
