I have a long term illness for which I need to take medication and only recently came across this remarkable little book. The best thing about it is that it's written specifically for people in my circumstances. It's very easy to dip into and out of and offers plenty of simple advice on feeling better and keeping well and in control. I've even taken the book to my group, as I feel that anyone would benefit from reading it. As the author says, self-help is simple, freely available and, once learned, with you for always.
