Ta-da! It’s been months in the making but fi nally our beautiful, re-shaped Psychologies is here. With new sections, a new look and new experts, we hope to give you a women’s magazine like no other. We don’t care what age you are, what you look like (though we know looking great makes you feel great), and we really don’t care what handbag you buy – what matters to us is what you think and how you feel. People often ask me who the Psychologies reader is and it’s a joy to reply that you won’t be put into any box that I can fi nd. All I’ll say is that you’re the most interesting and interested women in the room. So I hope we’ll be able to give you a magazine that interests you. We promise to be honest. We won’t do fake. We’ll create a space where you can communicate about what’s going on without fear of being judged. We promise to celebrate the courage to try something di erent – the process, not just results. We promise to embrace nuance, not black and white thinking. We promise to acknowledge that life can be di cult and there isn’t one right answer and sometimes all you can do is accept the ‘what is’. We will create a breathing space for you to explore how to fl ourish in your life, no matter what challenges you face. We’ll encourage you to experiment with new ways of thinking and living (see our new experiments on pages 73, 76 and 81) so you can create a life that nourishes rather than drains you (see our special report on change on page 83). We’ll also be engaging you in lively conversation. Don’t forget to join us on Facebook and Twitter, where more than 100,000 of you are busy talking. Read our 20-page Dossier, with conversations that have changed lives (on page 42), or how to have those di cult conversations you’ve been avoiding (on page 38). Plus, explore how to change the most important conversation of your life – the one you have with yourself.
