So says clinical psychologist and writer, Karen Nimmo, who has produced a DIY approach to therapy for our frenetic times. The book is intended to be a roadmap through all the stressing and striving, a support to create a life more meaningful.
Karen’s latest title is a very enjoyable and engaging read, and so darn relatable.
I loved the upbeat buzzy pink cover, the “edgy title” and the laugh-out-loud humour, which enlivens serious content, soundly based on extensive clinical research and experience. Because of course, what we all need to learn is how to mitigate the dangerous impacts of all this busyness on our health and well-being.
If we can learn to live life in a more focussed way, we can build resilience in ourselves, and model the behaviours to our children and grandchildren, who are likely to inherit an even more challenging world.
Busy as F*ck is a great first step in adapting the way you manage your life. A lifeline for the characteristically busy person with the to do list that never ends.
Other titles by Karen Nimmo include: Fish pie is worse than cancer (2015) My bum looks brilliant in This; the one true secret of lasting weight loss (2009).
Karen Nimmo will be in Hawkes Bay for the HB Readers and Writers Festival 2019. She will appear with well-known clinical psychologist and writer, Gwendoline Smith, and writer and commentator, Emily Writes in Busy Brains Calm Lives at the Victoria Spiegeltent 2pm on Saturday 19th October.
