Book Review - The next happy : Let go of the life you planned and find a new way forward By Tracey Cleantis.

" A bold, brave and incredibly relevant book". Lee Woodruff, New York Times Best selling author.
Tracy Cleantis classes herself as the Dr Kevorkian of dreams. Through The Next Happy she helps people work through grief and emotions related to failed dreams.

She covers the stages of grief in detail and supplies some self help points at the end of each chapter, which are very helpful. She takes a different point at looking at failures in life and helps you to refocus on what new opportunities you may have.
A great uplifting book. Anne

Film Review - Fat Kid Rules The World By Director Matthew Lillard

A depressed and suicidal high school student gets adopted by a high school dropout. They form a punk rock band together even though he has no idea how to play the drums becomes the drummer. The film has two lovable main characters and over time the hard cop father softens up.

One of messages in Fat Kid Rules The World is to take a chance in life and be brave. Another message is that going on a diet isn't the only way to happiness if you're over weight. I enjoyed the film and especially liked his imaginings at times of stress.
