In order to help himself out of the malaise of a mentally dark time he was going through, Matt went that extra step further a wrote a whole book about it - for himself first and foremost - and it's turned out to be so popular it hit number one on the best sellers list in NZ.  We go a little deeper into some of the topics in the book - specifically worry and anxiety and his own dealings with it, and into grief, what he would have done differently when adjusting to life without his lovely mum.  Substack: https://mattheath.substack.com/ Buy A Life Less Punishing: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/EMTJCD1jpNCPVMpECWfQIjQFiF?domain=mightyape.co.nz/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/mattheathnz/ FURTHER ANXIETY INFO: https://anxiety.org.nz/  Helpline - 0800 269 4389 (0800 ANXIETY) https://www.depression.org.nz/ https://mentalhealth.org.nz/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
