'A tender appreciation of life’s beauty' Matt Haig, The Guardian

This audio edition is read by the author, Cathy Rentzenbrink.

In How to Feel Better, bestselling author Cathy Rentzenbrink shares the advice that has seen her through life's ups and downs. From her etiquette for bad news to the words of wisdom she would like to pass onto her son, How to Feel Better is full of warm, gentle guidance and comfort for when you need it most.

Previously published as A Manual for Heartache, this revised edition contains a new introduction from Cathy and an inspiring addendum of advice from other authors on what they do to feel better, whatever the world throws their way.
