Bestselling author Nigel Latta's simple psychological toolkit for life's ups and downs.
Over thirty years working as a clinical psychologist Nigel Latta assembled a personal toolkit based on three simple principles. These principles helped him to be more resilient, joyful and and attuned to what matters most. The same principles have helped him with some difficult times as well, like his own incurable cancer diagnosis. But they also helped him find his way to the woman who became the great love of his life.
Full of wisdom for every conceivable conundrum, Lessons on Living will show the way through everything from parenting to empire-building, and help you find the strength within you to do the things that need to be done with clear intent and purpose.
