The Self-Help Book Club - First Edition, with Dr Nik Kendrew

In this episode, Rachel is joined again by Dr Nik Kendrew, self-confessed self-help bookaholic to chat about books and apps that have made an impact on their lives recently. We chat about how reading self-help books sometimes gets a bad press and how we, personally get an immense amount of value from them. Amongst other recommendations, Nik talks about ‘The Little Book of Resilience’ by Matthew Johnstone and the effect that this book has had on him, from understanding how we all put on a ‘show face’ to taking hold of the principle that ‘It’s OK to not feel OK’.We also talk about the enormous pressure that GPs are under and the importance of looking after yourself, seeking help where necessary and identifying some of those thoughts we believe are facts but are, in fact, just thoughts after all. Podcast linksThe Little Book of Resilience, Matthew JohnstoneHeadspace App https://drchatterjee.com/blog/category/podcast/ Stress Proof: The ultimate guide to living a stress free life Dr Mithu StonroniFollow Nik on Twitter @nikkendrewFor help and support for GPs https://gphealth.nhs.uk Sign up for downloadable CPD reflection forms plus more tools and resourcesFor more episodes of You are not a frog, check out our website www.youarenotafrog.co.uk and sign up to our mailing list here for loads of useful resources about thriving at work. Follow Rachel on twitter @DrRachelMorris or LinkedIn and find out more about her online and face to face courses for doctors on surviving and thriving at work at www.shapesfordoctors.com or for other organisations at www.wildmonday.co.ukMentioned in this episode:Take our quiz And receive your personalised You Are Not a Frog podcast episode playlist!Work Well Webinars Find out more about our new Join the Spring season of our Work Well Webinars
