But recognising ourselves when we're well can do a lot to help us identify what can go awry. Written with his signature kindness and empathy, this book is Alain de Botton's practical guide to caring for our mental health - from the acts of self-care in which we find respite to the help which psychotherapy can bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMental illness is as common, and as unshameful, as its bodily counterpart. We should be no more reluctant to seek help than we are if we develop a chest infection or sore knee - and we are no less worthy of love and sympathy in those moments. This book is a reminder of that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alain de Botton","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46484308885747,"sku":"9780241999417","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780241999417.jpg?v=1733252759","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/a-therapeutic-journey-alain-de-botton-9780241999417","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
