10 Minutes to Boost Your Mood
What can you really do in 10 minutes? You could call a friend, read the news, eat a bowl of cereal, or doomscroll on social media – and now, with this book, you can improve your mental health.
No matter how busy or stressful your day, with 10-minute steps and quick exercises, you can better understand and manage your experiences with depression and low mood. This book includes sections to read, questions to reflect on and things to try out in your everyday life. It covers everything from recognising low mood, dealing with risky thoughts of harm or suicide, working on healthy lifestyle factors like sleep and physical activity, and how to get yourself into the ‘zone’ where you feel focused and engaged with important and fun activities.
Using evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT, this book will help you take a problem-solving approach to negative thoughts and feelings, identify activities that bring you joy, treat yourself kindly, and get the best out of life (and not get stuck in the Doom Swamp).
10 Minutes to Beat Anxiety and Panic
The next in the series for teenagers, takes 10 minute steps to beat anxiety and panic. Using the same proven method, these step-by-step guides are a must for all of todays teenagers (and their families too).
Trudie Chalder at Kings College, former BABCP President and Chronic Fatigue/Persistent Physical Symptoms Unit head says:
“Lee David and Debbie Brewin provide a step-by-step approach to better mental health for young people, that can be tackled in brief chunks of time. The approach is based on the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy and mindfulness. It is easy to read and includes lots of inspiring and fun exercises to help you on your journey to developing health habits. Although written for young people it is a must read for people of any age”.
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.
