'Sophie clearly cares very deeply for the subject matter and has done a mind-boggling amount of research to produce this book - no mean feat then, to have also presented it in such an easy-to-digest manner. The book is full of mindfulness techniques, tips for self-care, genuinely-achievable activities that you can realistically fit into a busy routine, as well as a wealth of information on the physical and emotional side.'
