Opening Up to Living from the Heart

This is my first post for my new blog Creative Mental Health. My aims for this blog are to explore the world of creativity, mental health and positive psychology and to share all the fantastic books, blogs and sites I am discovering in the process. I also want to eventually use the blog as a platform to disseminate resources and inspirational material related to a book I am completing on the role of creativity and social support in mental health recovery. I hope people will find the posts helpful and motivational as well as entertaining, so without further ado, let me share with you a brilliant book I just finished reading.

By Eoin McCabe, Open: How Learning to Live from the Heart Changed Everything is a treasure for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or just plain bewilderment. Through his own life experiences and a kind of trial and error process, the author shares ideas and techniques that helped him deal with upheavals and crises. I couldn't put it down and I know it is one if those books I'll keep going back to again and again, probably for life! Highly recommended. So, until next time, stay focused on creating your dreams and hang on in there and in the meantime here's a photo if the Taxza Fountain, Kensington Gds London taken by Fintan McDonnell : )
