Just three simple, practical tools that have carried the author through his own hardest times:The Scale: how to work out how big a problem actually is, when everything feels like a ten.The Lifeboard: how to find a direction, and somewhere to set the weight down.Movement: how to get going again, in your body and among people, when your head won't cooperate.You don't have to fix your whole life. You just have to find the next small step. And you never have to do it on your own.For anyone aged 16 to 21 who's finding things hard, and for the parents, friends, and teachers who love them
