When Happiness Is Not Enough
USD $19.95 Tax IncludedWe all want to be happy, but happiness is an immensely complex concept and is of course not the same for everyone. Think back to the last really delicious thing you ate.

I Just Get So Angry! Dealing with Anger and other Strong Emotions for Teenagers
USD $9.99 Tax IncludedToday’s adolescents struggle with a range of issues, from anger and low self-esteem to depression and anxiety. In fact, research suggests that at any given time around 10 per cent of students will be suffering from a mental health issue that directly impacts on their education and health.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (the subject of Dr Russ Harris’s bestselling The Happiness Trap) has been proven to be effective in teaching young people effective, flexible strategies for dealing with the stressors in their life and, as in I Just Want to be … Me!, these principles are once again brought to life in graphic novel form. By following the main character, Andy, through his encounter with the Beast (symbolising his inner anger, hurt, fear and resentment), teenagers will learn how to similarly deal with their own issues and develop a more resilient mental attitude and achieve better emotional balance.
