—— Polly Vernon , Sunday TelegraphTeach us to Sit Still made me laugh; it made me cry; and it made me seriously think about taking up Vispassana meditation
—— Will Self , The TimesA searingly honest, viscerally vivid, darkly comic self-examination of the connections between writing personality and health. Once I started reading it, I didn't want to stop
—— David Lodge , GuardianThis is a crazy, wince-inducing, uplifting book... Parks has done a service to the many people who would never look at a cheesy self-help book or try anything with a whiff of spirituality about it
—— Financial TimesA movingly honest book that is about a great deal more than breathing and meditation
—— Susan Hill , The LadyFunny, painful and quietly profound book
—— Doug Johnstone , ScotsmanParks writes wonderfully well about his body as he is reluctantly reconciled to its existence alongside his mind... All the more moving for avoiding new age fakery. Anyone plagued by chronic aches and pains will find much to cheer them in this most unusual and engaging book
—— Jane Housham , ExpressParks is an excellent writer, capable of writing wittily and with great beauty about the near indefinable
—— Seven, Sunday TelegraphBeautifully written and painfully honest...a fascinating, perceptive and rewarding read
—— The Big Issue[Parks] writes with forensic precision about all he experiences, physically and mentally... Even those free of illness will find Parks's journey gives us much to ponder about the effects of modern living
—— Ben Felsenburg , MetroTeach Us to Sit Still is a small triumph of narrative artistry, luxuriantly written and full of bone-dry humour. I'd recommend it to any man over 45 who frets incessantly about his health - which is to say, any man over 45
