As the saying goes, life is short - but also looooooooong. Pick Me Up is for the days that aren't catastrophic, but still feel like a LOT. It's for the Tuesday blahs, the quiet car cries, the 3pm slumps. The middle-of-the-night, what-even-is-life moments. It's for the mess and muddle of life, a sparkly handbook to bring you back to where you'd one day like to be.

Bestselling author, cancer survivor and joy ambassador Briony Benjamin knows that life can get heavy, whether from healing and recovery, the cost-of-living crisis, climate anxiety or global despair. Maybe you're in the middle of a big new challenge, or simply in a 'meh' phase? If life is feeling hard, you're in the right place.

Forget 5am ice baths and 7-day cures, Briony offers gentle, real-world self-care to meet you where you are, such as:

- Simple ways to immediately switch on your body's calm mode
- The one thing you should do when you feel completely stuck
- How (and why) to shift the story you're telling your body
- Gratitude hacks for people who think gratitude is lame
- Why your home should be weirder
- How to keep caring about the world while still carrying on

Full of humour and inspiration, Pick Me Up is for anyone who feels like they're in a leaking dinghy in the middle of a cyclone. It's a promise that there are clearer days ahead and you can ride out the storm without flipping over.
