Waking Ben Doldrums by Heather Smith

lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

A brief and lighthearted approach to mental health. Sometimes we’re just not feeling it and I value the approach (and reminder) to lend an alternative solution rather than try to change someone. We all play a part, but sometimes we just need to be creative to contribute to making the world go around.

Mental health is a deep subject, but Smith keeps it brief, to the point and relatable for all. In a world full of self-help books, we could really use more books that focus on how to allow space for others. 

I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from NetGalley.
