This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life during a pandemic. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the case studies throughout to reflect and humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thanks to Netgalley and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for an advance copy of this book.

Steady is a great little book about how we can all support ourselves psychologically through the pandemic and beyond.

It includes a number of helpful ideas and tips in fighting misinformation, and how we can protect ourselves from the onslaught of news.

My only criticism would be in that some of the book talked about solutions that ultimately could only be provided by the government. Being in the UK and knowing what a mess our government has made of everything, this is depressing. This is particularly because we are reliant on the government doing things such as paying people enough to self isolate, to actually encourage compliance.

I think the book would have perhaps been better suited leaving these things out, and instead focusing on the things we can do individually.

While there is a lot of useful information in the book, I feel like it was all rather overshadowed by the fact that much of it is out of my control.

A comprehensive guide to recognising and dealing with stress and anxiety, particularly with reference to Covid 19. Whilst some of the advice was repetitive there’s plenty to take from the book in order to cope with these challenging times from supporting kids, creating structure, staying connected and conspiracy theories and more. Worth a read.

This is essentially a Counseling 101 book that has been updated to reflect how those principles apply specifically to the Coronavirus World. It's currently a very relevant book, and one that anyone would benefit from reading through. It not only presents the basic principles, but shows real-world ways to apply them and includes actionable steps and assignments.

Nothing new here, but repackaged into COVID advice. Much of this has been said lots in the media as we have been going through the pandemic. It’s here in one place.
