The 10-Minute Series
10 Minutes to Better Mental Health – A Step-By-Step Guide for Teens Using CBT and Mindfulness.
Have you found your direction and purpose in life, or are you floundering – anxious and aimless like you’ve lost your phone?
Are you uncomfortable in your group, or do you compare yourself unfavourably and maybe even avoid friends?
Have you fallen into the trap of reacting angrily towards others when you feel criticised, or does low mood get in the way of you doing things?
This book will help you get the best out of life. It is a practical workbook made up of information, advice, videos and exercises, using a framework called 10 Minute GROW, which helps keeps things brief, to the point and easy to remember.
Boosting Your Mental Wellbeing – 10 Minute Steps for Stressed Healthcare Professionals using CBT and Mindfulness.
This book could hardly have come at a better time.
There is a clear message here about GPs needing to spend more time looking after themselves. Uniquely, this book provides a structure steeped in the theory of CBT and ACT on how overwhelmed GPs can regain control. And with this, can boost their mental wellbeing.
What this book does is to share a process which the authors call ‘GROWTH’ (read on). This goes much further than the unsatisfactory ‘resilience training’ and is underpinned by a strong background in CBT and ACT therapies.

I have done Dr. David’s CBT courses and so was very keen to read this book as a parent and GP.
Was not disappointed and loved going through each chapter. It’s like a guided tour to improving mental well-being. Very easy to navigate and understand. In a language which resonates with youngsters. Will certainly be sharing it with my patients. The exercises are clear , concise and just the right dose for small sessions.
– Amazon review – 10 minutes to better mental health
A practical book which allows teenagers to digest information in bite-size pieces. The videos are engaging and bring the text to life. A great read for both teenagers, parents and those who work with young people.
