Audiobook Version of Steady: Coming Soon!

Audiobooks are definitely a thing. A thing related to, but separate from traditional books, but also eBooks too.

I’ve had a few enquiries as to whether my new book, “Steady: Keeping calm in a world gone viral” will be available on audiobook. I’m pleased to say that I’ll be working with Findaway Voices to make an audiobook version, as well as the upcoming paperback and eBook. I’ll be sure to keep you updated here and on social media.

My First Book is Coming: Steady – Keeping Calm in a World Gone Viral

For the past 6 months I have been busy. As well as a number of other projects, creating videos, scripts, and more, I have been writing a book.

My first book. And it was ambitious.

What started as an attempt to document what I did during the first lockdowns in New Zealand to advise the NZ Government and to advise people trying to get through the early stages of the pandemic evolved into something else. What I wrote is an attempt to distill 16 years of advice for better mental health and wellbeing and strategic communication principles at the intersection between emergency management and disaster psychology.

And, thanks to a team that I have built around me to support this project, it’s almost ready…

Today, I’m proud to announce “Steady: Keeping calm in world gone viral.”

A guide to better mental health during and beyond the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s going to get a global release, and you’ll start to see it available in all good bookshops, online, and hopefully in actual bookstores soon. At the moment, it is scheduled to be available around mid-to-late January, and you can pre-order it now on my website if you live in New Zealand, and all around the world very soon.

Watch out for promotions and opportunities to get hold of an early copy, and stay tuned for reviews and news about the book as we move towards publication, and possibly a book launch party too!

Lockdown Relief: Try Social Media Distancing

Social media can be great. We can keep in contact with each other and chat with each other and generally keep connected with friends, family and the wider world. And there are so many ways to do it – the social media world is virtually endless. Facebook’s use alone is surging with the company reporting use across Facebook itself, Instagram and WhatsApp (all owned by Facebook) as much at 70%.

But there is a dark side.

Here’s why you should practice social media distancing and how to do it.

Lockdown Relief: Why Are You Feeling So Tired?

Many people are saying that they just feel tired, exhausted and somehow drained.

What’s going on?

It’s not lack of sleep, it’s just that things feel somehow heavy. Well, they feel heavy because they are. It’s a worrying time. But it’s likely more than that. In our pre-covid19 days we would make dozens of low impact decisions every day and not think twice about them. Now, we have to double-think almost everything.

Watch as I explain moral fatigue, why you might be experiencing it and what you can do.

Lockdown Relief: Are You Putting On A Brave Face?

I’ve heard lots of people talking about how they feel like they need to put on a brave face on things – for their children, for others that care about them – even though they may be feeling very differently on the inside, compared to the brave face they’re showing on the outside.

Should you ever just pretend to be happy when you’re not?

Well, the answer is more complex than you might think.
