    Books on Prescription

    I came across this while doing an online course on CBT. There's lists on books available, and recommended, in libraries throughout England. You can get a prescription to borrow these books from your dr but can also self refer . Anyway, it gives lists of self help books that the medical professionals in the country recommend on mental health, dementia etc

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    You know, that's a brilliant idea. I used to read at least two books a week and love John Grisham but I can't focus that we'll and my mind wanders after about half an hour. Getting a book 9n prescription could help me better than going to the library and hiring out a book and not reading it. Might make me try harder.
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    I went to the library last week, joined as saw some of these books and came away with the one about depression and low mood. Only done a few tasks so far but I can honestly say they have helped me so far. It was good to get out and spend some real quiet time looking at the books too.
