Guide from the best-selling author, practical and inclusive, for life from Instagram's favorite psychologist, Chris Cheers. Nominee for the 2024 Australian Book Design Awards for Best Non-Fiction Book Cover Design.

Take a moment to reflect on how you’ve been feeling lately. Perhaps a bit tired, anxious, or exhausted? All the recent upheaval and uncertainty have left many of us not only feeling drained but also questioning who we are and what we want from life. Instead of taking the necessary time to process and answer these important questions, many of us feel pressured to simply return to “normal.” But what if we want something better than normal? The world has changed - we have changed - so when it comes to caring for our well-being, it’s clear that we need new rules.

The New Rulebook is a practical, definitive guide to embracing this uncertainty. It compassionately asks you to reassess five key areas: self-care, emotions, work, body, and love (all big issues!), and then offers radical, evidence-based solutions to enhance your well-being. Driven not by expectations, but by what you need. The rule for living has been thrown out the window in recent years. Instead of picking it up again, let’s write a new one.
