10 October is not only World Mental Health Day, the international day for education, awareness and advocacy about mental health, but it will also see the release of a brand new wellness book by debut author Gemma Margerison.

‘Connected: The 12 Ways of Wellbeing for a Holistically Healthy Life’ is the first full publication by the Lancashire-born writer, speaker, coach, and researcher, who introduces readers to her unique model of wellness, The Four Spheres of Connection.

Gemma’s debut book

Gemma said: “I believe we need to have a connection to ourselves, others, the world, and our purpose in order to
live a well-rounded life.

“We explore each of these four sections through three sub-chapters, breaking them down into 12 bitesize and easy-to-understand chunks.

“I wanted Connected to be a cross between a self-help book and a wellbeing directory. That way, readers who prefer to make changes or improvements by themselves are given the tools to do so, but those who require further support know who they can contact.”

In addition to this, the book will further contribute to supporting mental health in Lancashire through being an ‘in aid of’ product for Lancashire Mind.

This means that £2 from the sale of every copy of Connected will be donated to the charity to help fund their work in the community.
