MY BOOKS

JUST PUBLISHED!

'A profoundly benign and practical little book. Compact scholarship and wisdom with an original thesis.'
OLIVER JAMES

'A real Tardis of a book, with so much wisdom and information packed into so small a space, and elucidated with a brilliant clarity. Sourcing mythology, modern psychology and philosophy, it shines a light on this most commonplace yet complex of emotions.'
TIM LOTT
