Books that offer the opportunity for reflection, improvement and an impetus for change. They can make you think about life in a different way or help you onto a path where you can learn and practice strategies that help improve your wellbeing.
"In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you."

Paula is an adventurer, speaker and author, but, most of all, she’s a trier. For thirty years Paula suffered crippling anxiety, panic attacks and depression that would eventually rob her of even the most basic freedoms. After decades of medication and intervention, adventure became Paula’s personal therapy in 2012, when she became Paula Must Try Harder, trying the 17 Commonwealth sports, facing her fears head on and fighting her way back into the world.
Ever since, Paula has terrified herself daily in the name of recovery, and now spends all that nervous energy writing and speaking about the importance of allowing a little fear into each day. From flying a plane and wingwalking to becoming a triathlete when she couldn’t actually swim, Paula’s adventures demonstrate that even the most ordinary person can do extraordinary things when they give that little bit extra.
Paula tried something new every day in 2020, reaffirming her belief that adventure is EVERYWHERE.
