"For those struggling to cope with academic pressures, I highly recommend this book. It's clearly written and based on good evidence. I work as a clinical psychologist in the NHS and have already recommended it to some of my younger clients starting university. Unlike many CBT self-help guides, this book also introduces the reader to compassionate-focused and mindfulness skills, increasingly recognised as important aspects of any therapy" - Amazon customer
