Back in 2015 I wrote a book (which was reviewed here and here). Sample download here.
The book was written with lawyers in mind – lawyers everywhere – but the feedback I’ve had from non-lawyers has been that the life lessons have been helpful generally.
So, with the generous agreement of my publisher, I’ve updated and blogged short extracts from the book. (Click on the page titles in bold below).
The ideas are fleshed out by three fictional lawyers: Andrew, Beth and Chris.
SO WHAT?
Wicked problems – sometimes things are too complex to be totally sorted
Legal un-wellbeing – some UK lawyers are unhappy …
A little more on un-wellbeing – … and elsewhere too
Starting to tackle wicked problems
STRESS HAS HAD A BAD PRESS:
PREHAB:
What on earth is prehabilitation?
ARCHETYPES:
Archetypes – this one’s mainly for lawyers
Archetypes – this is for everyone
BRAINS & BODIES:
The high road, the low road and the bears
RESILIENCE:
PRACTICAL MENTALISING:
MIND-MINDEDNESS:
Thinking feelings and feeling thinkings
TEAMS:
STUFF HAPPENS:
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE:
PRESS PAUSE: 5 minute ‘time’ focus
WORKING WITH OTHERS:
Psychological first aid – breaking the ice
WHAT NOW?
What lessons can we learn from the creation of the UK welfare state?
How do we even begin to think about how to tackle hugely complex problems?
What can the medical profession teach us about managing change?
