Books that have changed our lives

Hi everyone!

We want you to get involved in SANE Australia's Book of the Year award.

Has a book on mental health made a difference to your life? SANE Australia wants to hear your suggestions for its Book of the Year.

If you've read a mental health-related book that's;

a) Australian

b) published in 2013-14

AND most importantly

c) impressed you with how it promoted understanding of mental illness and/or how people affected can lead a better life

Then let us know in this discussion! (Nominations close at the end of September.)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

🙂

Re: Writing about happiness . . . reminds me about Kay Jamiso...

I have read many self help books but the most helpful one for me to have more insight into my family members Mental Illness is called " Loving someone with Borderline personality disorder. Author : shari y. manning Phd.

Another good book is Geht me out og here : Author: Rachel Reiland. About her own recovery from borderline personality disprder. There is also loads of information online . knowledge is power. we have to understand what we are dealing with regards Mental Illnesses. Books on Mindfulness are very help practice for everyday lifea.

Hope these can be of help to BPD familes out there.

Warm Regards.

I just wish I could concentrate enough and long enough to read the index.
