In the modern world of GPS it's nice to have something to fall back on
4 stars
A quick and easy read looking at some of the more 'natural' ways you can navigate without your phone (or even a compass). This is more of an overview and there is a more detailed book available by Tristan if you wish to explore it further.
RossA reviewed TO KILL THE PRESIDENT* by BOURNE SAM
Scary that this could happen in America!
5 stars
A great thriller and holiday read. This is clearly based on Donald Trump - and scary how I could imagine the whole story playing out in real life.
RossA reviewed Think like a monk
Great inspirational read
5 stars
Another inspirational read. Easy to read and lots of practical ways you can help make your life better. Not preachy - just practical and sensible.

3 of the four stories excellent - fifth okay

RossA reviewed Way Home by Mark Boyle
A great read that really inspired me
5 stars
Really enjoyed reading this - inspired me to leave my phone at home for a week while we went on holiday. Worth reading just to realise what we are all missing.
RossA reviewed My Happy Mind by Laura Earnshaw
Great book on how to improve your child’s mental health
5 stars
While this book is written to go alongside the MyHappyMind programme it works just as well as a stand-alone. Loads of useful advice and links to free online resources.
Highly recommend for any parents.
