One of the greatest thinkers of the age

One of the five saints of the 20th century

The meaning of Krishnamurti for our time is that one has to think for oneself and not be swayed by any outside religions or spiritual authorities

Krishnamurti influenced me profoundly and helped me personally break through the confines of my own self-imposed restrictions to my freedom

Boardman's helpful suggestions rise above the standard self-help fare

An incisive and important book that will change the way you think

When it comes to Guilaine Kinouani, I look forward to nothing short of brilliance. However, I couldn't have been prepared for this stunning piece of work that Guilaine has blessed myself and the world with. This will be a book that I read, recommend and refer to for years to come

Guilaine Kinouani's book both expands and strengthens current narratives on race ... There is honest, razor-sharp, and unrelenting description of, for example, the relationship between white women and black women - seldom written about and barely approached in any discourse around feminism or psychology ...There are precious stones to be discovered in these pages - materials, tools, reflections. But for me it is so much more than this ... Kinouani's searing commentary reminds us just how little black lives have mattered in the history of counselling and psychology ... A fascinating and impressive book that stands witness to what it is like to 'live while Black'

Every feeling I've experienced as a Black woman navigating my way through this racist world was articulated here. Texts on race often just expose trauma. The beauty of this was she also offered solutions. This book felt like The Ancestors had enveloped me in a huge hug, whispered in my ear and gave me the strength to just keep going

This powerful and timely book is an essential read for everyone with the very real potential to save Black lives

Living While Black, with its radical foundations and extensive content, is groundbreaking in nature. It's not about merely surviving racism, it's about thriving in spite of it ... [it is] like validation for all that I have felt, reassurance that racial trauma is not only real but incredibly harmful, and also hope for the future.

I'm blown away by her ability to communicate difficult ideas with ease, simplicity and practicality. Amazing. Go and buy it now!

This book is a goldmine. I truly treat it like a handbook now - when I feel an unpleasant feeling brewing or come up against a tricky moment at work or in my relationships, my first thought is to wonder what Smith might suggest

A guide for optimal mental wellbeing that you can dip into whenever you need

Wise words and compassionate tone . . . Smith's work is hugely important in bringing applied psychology into the public realm

So much advice on such a wide variety of things: it's brilliant. So helpful

Smith . . . is especially adept at addressing the insecurities afflicting a younger generation raised on social media

If you have never read a self-help book before, this is the book to read

Such a brilliant book

Very helpful
