Perspective is Everything #bibliotherapy #books #mentalwellbeing

A lovely reminder for today from Rabindranath Tagore - life is all about perspective-taking and how we wish to experience the world around us and within us.

(And a little note about Tagore, whose work you may find incredibly moving and healing: Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was a prominent Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and artist from the Indian subcontinent. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest literary figures in modern Indian literature and the world at large. Tagore's contributions to literature include poetry, short stories, novels, essays, plays, and songs. His most famous work is "Gitanjali" (Song Offerings), a collection of poems that earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, making him the first non-European to win the prestigious award. Apart from his literary achievements, Tagore was also a prominent social reformer and thinker. He played a significant role in the Indian independence movement and advocated for various social causes such as education reform, women's rights, and cultural revival. Tagore's influence on Indian culture and society remains profound, and his works continue to be celebrated globally for their lyrical beauty, philosophical depth, and universal themes.)

A big hello and thank you for watching! Passionate about literature, psychology, and life I launched Book Therapy as an alternative form of therapy using the power of literature. I train mental health professionals, librarians, teachers as well as readers on using bibliotherapy in their own work through our online Bibliotherapy, Literature and Mental Health course (). We also curate reading lists/personalised book prescriptions for clients based on their individual needs. This is our signature personalised reading service:

You can also check out Book Therapy’s other free reading lists and A- Z of book prescriptions (covering both fiction and non-fiction). These suggest books based on your existing life situation (e.g. anxiety, job change, relationship heartache) as well as interests (e.g memoir, historical fiction, non-fiction, crime etc). There’s also a Children’s A — Z of Book Prescriptions. Feel free to check out the blog for more literary gems. There’s also a post on my personal story of how I entered the world of bibliotherapy and book curation.

In this role, I have had the opportunity to publish two books called Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading () and The Happiness Mindset, and write various literary essays and pieces for newspapers and magazines. I have undertaken bibliotherapy workshops for The United Nations, various libraries in New York and corporate organisations in the UK and US. My book recommendations have featured in the Guardian, Marie Claire, NBC News, Asian Voice, New York Observer, Sydney Telegraph and various other publications.
