The people have spoken!
This is democracy manifest. After a short campaign, the polls have opened and since closed, the people have voted and all votes have been counted.
Having received 45% of all votes cast, we have a very clear winner…
﹅ Our March pick is…
Voting is now closed and we’re excited to announce that the winning book and our Bad Ass Bookshelf read for March is:
Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?
By Dr Julie Smith
To be honest, neither of us saw this coming. We both voted for Grit and expected it to be either that one or Mindset. But if you look at the results below, you’ll see it was quite a thumping. Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before won with a solid and convincing margin.
Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before is a practical and engaging guide to mental well-being, this book condenses the expertise of clinical psychologist Dr Julie Smith into clear, actionable strategies. Covering everything from managing anxiety and building confidence to handling negative thoughts, it offers a toolkit for navigating life’s challenges with greater self-awareness and resilience.
