Book of the Month

Big Feelings. How to be Okay When Things are not Okay. (Fosslien + Duffy)

One quote on the cover of this bestselling book claims, “this book will restore your sense of control”. Something we’re all looking for in moments of challenge, right?

The writing duo provide a well-researched dive into why it is so important to acknowledge those big and hard feelings and, most importantly, ways of doing so.

It is a hands-on practical book chock full of witty and touching stories that add pragmatism and value to the seven chapters. Each chapter is dedicated to a “Big Feeling” from Uncertainty to Perfectionism and Regret. All are anchored with key points summaries, and useful micro and macro tips. On the top, the book is peppered with absolutely wonderful illustrations that’ll may make you laugh and cry! 😂😂

Wise Words of the Month

“We all are learning, modifying, or destroying ideas all the time. Rapid destruction of your ideas when the time is right is one of the most valuable qualities you can acquire. You must force yourself to consider arguments on the other side.”
