MUST-READ - This book is incredibly insightful, it talks about the different types of attachment styles people have. I say its a must-read even if your single as it teaches you so much about yourself and potential partners. 

One main thing it highlighted was people giving their partners the age-old 'title' of being called a Phyco. This isn't the case at all but in fact, it's all to do with peoples attachment styles. A needy or clingy partner may not actually be like that at all, but their respective partner is bringing out their anxious attachment style. The remedy? Understanding your partner.

The anxious attachment style needs someone who can be 'consistently available' - yes you hear that right, not continuously available but consistently.

Another attachment style is the avoidant - this is someone who is typically titled a 'player' they don't want to be tied down and in fact have a fear of getting to close to someone. Instead, they will end things before they get started or will act erratically making arguments out of nothing.

Its a brilliant read and has lots of examples and scenarios of different attachment styles in play. It also includes why certain relationships will never work, for example why two Avoidants will never click. It also explains how even if you are a specific attachment style at present, it can change and you can become more secure.



A MUST READ if you're currently going through / went through a Break-Up. This was my Bible

It's like the best friend you didn't know you needed telling you how it is, while it is brutally honest it is super necessary. This is literally one of the first books I ever read, yet it has stuck with me for years, anytime I hear someones struggling with a breakup I will always recommend this book. 

To be fair some chapters are very blunt and not all applied to me, nor will they to you. But that's what I liked about it, you can read the relevant parts or chapters that are of most interest to you.

When going through a breakup you can be incredibly confused about your feelings and whats the best way to try move on. This book gives you the kick you need to get your shit together. It will always be a personal favourite, it taught me self love and why having high standards and an even higher level of self-value is the best way forward.

Bonus Chapter


I personally think EVERYONE should be made to read this book! It's such an eye-opener into how addicted we all really are to our phones. There's even term for it now!! If you're with someone and they keep checking their phone its called 'Phubbing' isn't that crazy.

This book includes a 30-day exercise aimed at showing you how addicted you are to your phone and helping you break that addiction.  It highlights our constant need to feel connected and the psychology behind it.

For example, ever wondered why you feel the need to constantly check how many likes you're getting?
Why when you wake up the first thing you do is check your phone?
Why you scroll aimlessly through Facebook and Instagram?

READ THE BOOK x




This dives into Emotional Intelligence, while i find a lot of mindfulness books skip over 'how' of mindfulness, Dr Barbara explains how improving the six dimensions of emotional intelligence will improve appreciation, enjoyment and involvement of everyday life.

If like me your a rationalist you will appreciate the science and logic behind the contents. It helps hit the pause button and bring you back to living in the moment. It's a great book filled with plenty of guidance, examples, tips, tools, exercises to build your confidence.




Off the bat, this wasn't my kind of book. Unfortunately, I found it very cheesy and cliche which just isn't my style of reading. While it is very action-focused and has some good exercises I found it quite an average book. It comes with a CD to listen to, in order to benefit the most you need to take a proactive stance and listen to it and follow the activities.

That being said it does have some very good reviews and if you like a confident ' I can change your life' tone in books this would be perfect for you!
