I am the co-author, along with Lucy McCarraher of The Real Secret: Simple, Sensible, Scientifically Supported Self-help.
This is a serious self-help book whose wisdom we distilled from trawling through a huge amount of evidenced based research - we did the sorting for you!
Why bother? Well we were fed up with what passes for self-help these days - far too much of it is no more than pseudo-scientific nonsense. Some of it is down-right harmful. So here we are, re-claiming a bit of the bookshelves for down to earth, honest help in making life a little easier and a lot more fun.
