Dr Joanna Cheek is a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist trained in dozens of modalities, researcher, meditation teacher, journalist, and Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. She co-created the national-award-winning Mind Space collective, offering publicly-funded mental health workshops to teach effective mental health strategies through connection and care to tens of thousands of community members and physicians who, like us all, experience the mental health symptoms that arise from living in a disordered world.
This book more than instructs about healing: it makes healing into a practicable aim and endeavour -- GABOR MATÉ The real reason emotional suffering is skyrocketing isn't because we're flawed or broken - it's because we're responding to a deeply unwell world. In this brilliant, wise, and profoundly compassionate book, Dr Joanna Cheek guides us to see the wider ecology driving our distress -- TARA BRACH, author of 'Radical Acceptance' Kudos to Dr Cheek for showing us the science behind our global dysfunction, and the research-led responses needed to heal ourselves and our world . . . Her courage and wisdom shine through these pages! -- JACK KORNFIELD, author of 'A Path with Heart'
