May 22, 2019

‘Amazing things happen when you start your own love affair with happiness,’ says Jacqueline Pirtle in the opening line of 365 Days of Happiness.

Book review: The Art of Being Brilliant

February 2, 2019

I’m alway sceptical of books that tell you how to be happy and transform your life with some magic formula.

November 25, 2018

Winter is well and truly here and, this week with a mixture of fog and rain, it has felt like daylight has never actually arrived.
