Another nice book from the "School of life" series curated by Alain de Botton.

In this book, Philippa Perry argues that there are four major factors to staying sane: self-awareness, good relationships, positive stress and the management of our personal stories. The book is founded on the author's experience as a therapist, it's written in a simple style, and manages to convey its message clearly.

The exercises at the end of the book (which I am yet to try) are a great way to take the message home and to increase one's self awareness and other factors.

Reading it carefully would be so helpful. As well as doing the exercises.
I'm a bit saner and much more aware thanks to it.

The idea of the book is just about perfect, but the execution disappointed me. It has some good insights.
