Publisher Review

Praise for the author * – * Full of sound, helpful advice with life skills, from building confidence to managing stress * Sunday Times * It’s so engaging that it’s even led me to switch off my phone for several hours so I can read it, and in this social media-obsessed age, I don’t think I can give a bigger recommendation than that — Bryony Gordon * Telegraph * This book is a goldmine. I truly treat it like a handbook now – when I feel an unpleasant feeling brewing or come up against a tricky moment at work or in my relationships, my first thought is to wonder what Smith might suggest * Stylist * So much advice on such a wide variety of things: it’s brilliant. So helpful * Katie Piper * The book’s great. It’s real, it’s authentic . . . Very practical and very, very helpful * Lorraine Kelly *
