It’s been a difficult year. I have been scanning the horizon for resources that help us find new ways to think, feel and thrive, despite the challenges. That’s why we invited Ruby Wax to be our cover star. Fed up with people moaning about the state of the world, Wax vowed to spend time with inspiring individuals who are influencing a better future for humanity, and then she wrote a book about it - And Now For The Good News: To The Future With Love. ‘Nothing will change without changing the lens through which we see the world,’ she says (page 18).
I also loved reading Slay Your Dragons With Compassion by Malcolm Stern. After unimaginable tragedy, he turned his grief into wisdom, and shares his journey in a book that gives you a torch to find your way back to yourself when life grows dark (page 38).
Whatever you’re facing - the end of a relationship (Lisa Jenkins helps us divorce with kindness on page 28) or pivoting your career in response to the pandemic (Heidi Scrimgeour tells us how on page 50) - we’ll help you navigate tough times. As 2020 comes to a close, let’s be inspired by Wax’s message, turning our gaze front and centre. To the future, with love!
