Day 12: Talk Yourself Better is available to pre-order!

I'm delighted to say that my new book Talk Yourself Better is now available to pre-order. It's all about how therapy and medication can help with anxiety and depression, and features interviews with Stephen Fry, Charlie Brooker, David Baddiel, Dolly Alderton, Cosmo Landesman, Jean Hannah Edelstein and James Brown (the magazine editor, not the soul singer) - and many more.

Jeremy Vine says the book is "Brilliant - makes the baffling comprehensible". Derren Brown says "What an excellent, long-overdue idea! A super-accessible guide, through the bewildering marketplace of modern therapy, to ease our noble search for help."



I'm really, really proud of this book. Thanks to the contributors, it's funny and honest and poignant, and gives a real insight into the secret world of therapy. It also answers questions like:

- How do I access therapy?
- What kind of therapy should I have?
- What's the difference between therapy and counselling?
- How do I find a good therapist?
- What is a therapy session really like?
- What's the difference between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, or CBT and DBT?
- How long will I need to have therapy for in order to get better?

Twitter's Poet Laureate Brian Bilston says: "What makes Ariane Sherine's Talk Yourself Better stand out from the crowd is its accessibility and humour; to be able to discuss difficult things with a lightness of touch and a comedy that does not trivialise is a rare skill indeed. This, combined with the honest - and often deeply moving - stories of clients and practitioners alike make this the ideal introduction for anyone considering therapy for the first time."

And comedian Arthur Smith says it's "An excellent, funny and thought-provoking read for all who seek answers."
