The One: ‘…a searing, incendiary and highly original debut novel…’ —Irvine Welsh
Following his acclaimed novel, The One, Paul Reed offers this practical self-help book, a unique blend of western and oriental traditions of psychotherapy and healing. Drawing on his own experiences of mental illness, Paul Reed has created this easy-to-follow guide on relaxation and stress relief. Includes exercises based on meditation techniques and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Says Paul: “I’m not trying to be any sort of guru or anything like that, but I think that passing on my own experiences—having been through the mill myself, over a long period—and talking about how I’ve tried to deal with my own mental health problems, could maybe help other people—it’s not hopeless and you have the power within yourself.”
Paul Reed has lived in Muirhouse, Edinburgh all his life. In 1987, he began to experience various symptoms of mental illness and was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2001. His debut novel The One launched Mercat Press’ fiction imprint, Crescent Books. He is now in great demand as a public speaker on mental health issues.
