A box of wise emergency advice for 20 key psychological situations, including Friendship, Love, Sex, Work and Self

"I'm in the wrong job"

"I don't know how to make friends..."

We are all plagued by moments of worry and distress. When we injure ourselves, we reach for a first aid kit. But when we are hurt or lost emotionally, what can we reach for? Introducing an emotional first aid solution. This deluxe box set contains what's most urgently needed to contain a situation - until calm returns or more substantial help can be called for.

This is a counterpart to that medical first aid kit: an emotional kit that provides a set of useful salves to some of life's most challenging psychological situations. Hopefully we won't face them very often (if at all), but knowing how we might respond can lend us an important degree of confidence and resilience. This kit is an artful collection of some of what the wisest and kindest, most experienced and most thoughtful people might say to us if they were beside us in a crisis.
