'There is always hope, even when we cannot seem to seek it within ourselves.'
From the best advice you’ll ever get to the joy of crisps, the brilliant contributors to The Book of Hope will help you to find joy whenever you need it most. These 101 key voices in the field of mental health - including the likes of Lemn Sissay, Dame Kelly Holmes, Hussain Manawer, Frank Turner, Joe Wicks and Elizabeth Day - share not only their experiences with anxiety, psychosis, panic attacks and more, but also what helps them when they are feeling low.
Award-winning mental health campaigner Jonny Benjamin, MBE, and co-editor Britt Pflüger bring together people from all walks of life – actors, musicians, athletes, psychologists and activists – to share what gives them hope. This joyful collection is a supportive hand to anyone looking to find light on a dark day and shows that, no matter what you may be going through, you are not alone.
Jonny Benjamin is known for his book and documentary film, The Stranger on the Bridge, which fought to end stigma around talking about mental health, suicidal thoughts and schizoaffective disorder. When his campaign to find the man who prevented him from taking his own life went viral, Jonny was one of a wave of new figures lifting the lid on mental health struggles. In this book, he brings together a range of voices to speak to the spectrum of our experiences of mental health and the power of speaking up and seeking help.
Jonny Benjamin is an award-winning mental health campaigner, film producer, public speaker, writer and vlogger from London. He is the author of The Stranger on the Bridge and The Book of Hope. Jonny was awarded an MBE for his services to mental health and suicide prevention in the Queen’s 2017 New Year Honours List.
Britt Pflüger is a literary consultant with over twenty-five years’ experience in publishing. She was born in Germany and has lived and worked in the UK since graduating from King’s College London.
