					<description><![CDATA[<b>HOPE THIS HELPS tackles the everyday issues that affect us all and offers easy guidance and insight that might just help you live and feel better.</b>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The world can often feel like a very scary, complicated and messy place. It&#8217;s not always clear what is the correct thing to say, the best thing to do or the right way to be.</b><br /><b><br />HOPE THIS HELPS </b>offers an easy guide that can help you feel and do better, and gives guidance on things that can appear incredibly difficult to navigate. Centring tolerance, kindness and empathy, the book takes us back to our roots as a human race of simply wanting to connect, be heard and enjoy life.</p>
<p>Written in short, bite-sized entries, you can turn straight to the section you need depending on the challenge you&#8217;re facing. Benjy Kusi will provide insight on . . . </p>
<p>&#8211; Why it&#8217;s not selfish to choose yourself<br />&#8211; Why it&#8217;s OK to change your opinion as you learn<br />&#8211; Why impact means more than intent<br />&#8211; Why we should listen to others more<br />&#8211; How we can be kinder online</p>
<p>And much, much more.</p>
<p><b>More than anything this book reminds you that not everyone can be everything all the time, but the little things each of us can do to make the world slightly better can amount to something incredible. </b></p>
<p>We hope this helps.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Join Julia Bradbury as she leads you through the walk of our lifetimes. There's a lot of talk about how we all must connect more with nature. But what does that mean?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><br /><b>THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER</b><br /></i><b><br />&#8216;It&#8217;s hard not to be persuaded by Bradbury&#8217;s enthusiasm and positivity&#8217; THE TIMES</b></p>
<p><i><b>Join Julia Bradbury as she leads you through the walk of our lifetimes.</b></i></p>
<p> There&#8217;s a lot of talk about how we all must connect more with nature. But what does that mean? How do you do it? And what does it do for you in return? Can something as simple as going for a walk really improve your life? The simple answer is: YES.</p>
<p> <i>Walk Yourself Happy</i> will explain the elemental link between our own health &#8211; both physical and mental &#8211; and the natural world.</p>
<p> Julia knows first-hand the profound impact of nature: it has helped her survive breast cancer, overcome infertility and continue through failed IVF treatments; it balances the soul and acts as a confidante and therapist. Through science-backed information, practical tips and Julia&#8217;s own story, <i>Walk Yourself Happy</i> will explore how nature can soothe anxiety and stress, how a mountain or a tree can keep you company in times of grief, and the importance of building nature into your everyday life, so you eat well, sleep better and move more.</p>
<p>Walking, one of the most accessible activities for most of us, is the fastest and easiest way to embed yourself in nature. You don&#8217;t need expertise or equipment; you just need to put one foot in front of another. You don&#8217;t need an epic landscape either, you can walk down the street or in your local green space. Though, as you will learn from this book, a walk in the park is rarely just that.</p>
<p> We all have shocks and surprises that stop us in our tracks, make us question who we are and why we are here. In walking, we have the power to change our pace. And when we do that, we can find union with nature, camaraderie with friends and a form of intimacy with self.</p>
<p> We can walk ourselves happy and we can walk ourselves healthy, and we can rekindle the innate bonds, all-but extinguished by modern living, that we have always had to our natural environment. We can start today.</p>
