Books can be a crackerjack supplement to personal growth and therapy. The Book Nook is an ever-growing hub for all my mental health-related favourites.

by Jack Hazan (2023)
For anyone who is interested in baking as a form of mindfulness and ‘meditation in action’, I am happy to recommend this book by baking enthusiast-turned mental health therapist ,Jack Hazan. I liked it so much that after buying it as a gift for a friend and fellow-therapist, I just had to buy a copy for myself. Jack guides readers through ways of bringing mindfulness into baking while also exploring how specific bakes (and the enjoyment of them) can help us work with emotional states, ranging from challenging to joyful. And the recipes I have tried have been approachable (and delicious!)
