“Helen peppers this wonderful, practical and personal book with many quotes. So let me add another one: “Whatever we are, whatever we make of ourselves, is all we will ever have — and that, in its profound simplicity, is the meaning of life.” (Philip Appleman) Helen has made many things of her life and in the process, has profoundly affected the lives of thousands of others. Her power comes I think from the fact that she does not just practice what she preaches – she embodies it. Some of her lessons have been very hard learned but she shares them openly in her book and in the process offers a thoughtful guide for all of us to living a conscious life of connection and meaning. In a time of stress and anxiety that often feels overwhelm-ing, her kind and clear advice is a welcome balm to the soul.”

"I could not help but think of you as a sparkly fairy God-mother again sprinkling her fairy dust over us all. Iʼm really appreciative of this as a new go-to guide to pull out whenever things are a tad tough, Iʼm exhausted, the colour is leaving my life or I can feel that Iʼm losing my way. The advice is so real, practical and grounding. I could feel myself exhale deeper and deeper as I read more and more.I also love how easy it is to read. I especially liked your stories and non-daunting sharing story-like manner of sharing research and stats. Your rich metaphors make it really simple to remember the practices and apply them often."

“Helen's expertise on mindfulness and its ability to bring calm to each and everyone of us, couldn't be more timely. Her practical perspective and approach is accessible to everyone. This is a must read whether you're feeling the slightest bit of anxiety or feeling completely overwhelmed.”
