Sparkling . . . a laugh-out-loud odyssey, with embarrassing incidents and downright disasters aplenty. But the real triumph of the book is the way it transcends its "Bridget Jones gazes at her navel" premise to ask searching questions both about the purported effectiveness of self-help in the light of a multi-million dollar personal development industry; and about how we can really best find contentment. If you've ever worried that self-help might be a euphemism for self-obsession, then this is a book for you. (Bookseller)

(Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober)

The utterly addictive, irresistibly funny and incredibly moving story of one woman’s quest to find out if self-help really can change your life.
