The Circus of Life (Adult Edition)

The latest book written by Rachel Munns helps adults to identify and combat the common causes of everyday mental health problems. With this book everyone can get practical help and guidance before stress begins to cause major health and social problems.

Rachel explains..."Inspired by my own family experiences as a mother, daughter and wife, five years ago I set out to create the materials and techniques that could genuinely help others to combat the everyday stress caused by relationships, social media, workplace and other pressures. My previous experience as a TV presenter, reporter and trainer gave me the research and writing skills to produce a book that I believe can genuinely make a difference to anyone who has been or is being impacted by stress-related mental health issues."

Published in June 2020, 'The Circus of Life' (Adult Edition) is largely based on a highly-successful workshop that Rachel developed and has successfully presented at schools and businesses throughout the country.

In the opening chapter, the book introduces Rachel as 'The Ringmaster' and gives her reasons behind writing the book. She then describes the many similarities between performing well at the circus and performing well in life, for example, juggling priorities and balancing different demands. The book then carefully explains the causes and symptoms of stress and anxiety, in a language everyone will understand and presented in a way that they will not feel intimidated, patronised or frightened by.

Subsequent chapters then invite the reader to complete a 'Big Top' model, that helps them to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, and guide them into self-administered positive changes that will give them increased resilience to stress-related issues, and greater success in relationships and personal performance.

Finally, there is an appendix that gives further explanation on specific issues such as eating disorders and depression, with a comprehensive list of tailored support services and charities that are available online and/or by phone.

The Circus of Life is receiving excellent reviews from all those that have read the bbok and adopted some of the strategies and lifestyle changes it offers.
