"...putting on with the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London. It promises to be a good event - it'll be interesting and a bit lighthearted. The last event in this series got into the 'Best by day' section of Time Out, and we're hoping for an even better event this time."

Sounds like fun!

Reviews
The Bookseller, “Editor’s Pick,” 10/12/12 “Sensible and very readable…By far the most useful of this month’s New You offerings.”

Kirkus Reviews, 1/1/13 “Making changes does take longer than we may expect—no 30-day, 30-pounds-lighter quick fix—but by following the guidelines laid out by Dean, readers have a decent chance at establishing fulfilling, new patterns.”

Publishers Weekly, 12/10/12 “An accessible and informative guide for readers to take control of their lives.”
