About the Book

A practical guide to looking after your mind, one small habit at a time.

Move Your Mind: How to Build a Healthy Mindset for Life, published by Wiley in 2021, is Nick Bracks' practical guide to building a healthier mind before problems take hold.

Drawing on his own experience with depression, anxiety and alcohol, along with the latest research and insights from mental health experts, it turns big ideas into simple strategies and tools you can use every day.

The book is built on four connected pathways, designed to help you recognise problems early, build habits that last and take ownership of your own wellbeing.
