Hi all,

I thought I would share these two books with you.  My son bought them for me for Xmas and the are really helpful if you suffer with stress or anxiety.  I did not know whether to post in this or the Alternatives section (members aren't interested in alternatives apparently), so I shall post in both.  They are:

ZEN, The Art of Simple Living, by Shunmyo Masuno. and

IKIGA, The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles.

Both are really useful books for getting a healthy aspect on life and helping you through troubled times. 

I got them out today as I had my first panic attack for about 3 years today.  Hayho :(

Oooooooh...I like the sound of IKEGA....things that make ones life worthwhile. I'll make a note of that one.

Just recently I read a book called The clockwork crow - a children's book would you believe!
I needed it.
For a little while it allowed me to believe in magic...another world. It was an escape from this world which I find difficult to cope with at times.

I used to dread it when my daughter was in primary school, trying to get her to decide which book character she wanted to dress up as x

Gosh, yes!!  I'm so glad my two are now in Secondary school. Pippi Longstocking was easy, the rest were hell!

I also used to hate World Book Day, all the dressing up and the school decided on the theme, could never understand why the children couldn't just take in their favourite book and read a passage out of it - easy!

Just finished The Making  of Us by Lisa Jewell.  Best book I've read in ages.  it's about 3 people who discover they are the result of the same sperm donor, therefore siblings. I won't say any more in case anybody fancies reading it.  I have read so many books where I get bored and struggle to finish but this one kept me gripped the whole way through.

I am going to choose another book to start tonight from the many piles in my bedroom.  I am so glad I had so many!

"Surviving the Volcano" - Stanley Williams.  A page turner.   Why anyone would dare to go into the crater of a volcano .......... but the geological history is interesting and I didn't even understand it at School.
