What Helps: Sixty Slogans to Live By

This is a beautiful book. Maggie Baldry

Are you seeking inspiration, meaning, or a new direction? Are you stuck in the mud, or going round in circles? Are you ready to receive some nourishment and support?

'What Helps' contains sixty jewels of wisdom, each of them grounded in human reality and shot through with love. These jewels will bring solace, fresh insights, laughter, and hope. Each of them will illuminate your problems from a new perspective, and lead to practical solutions. They will remind you that you are perfectly acceptable, just as you are.

This book is designed for ordinary foolish beings (like the author) who are motivated to live a good life and to lessen their own suffering and the suffering of those around them. Working through the questions in each chapter will bring understanding and self-compassion and, as you feel better about yourself, you will naturally move forwards with more patience, understanding and love.
