You are literally made of stardust ✨ The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood, the oxygen you breathe - was forged inside ancient stars. Over billions of years those elements were scattered across space, forming the building blocks of life. You're not just in the universe, you're made of it

Exciting news - for a limited time the Kindle version of Make Life Happier is available for just 99p! My hope is to spread these ideas to as many people as possible. Getting to No.1 in the Sunday Times helped, but now there's a really affordable version to share too www.amazon.co.uk/Make-Life-Ha...

Give up hoping for a better past. Focus on today. Most of life consists of everyday moments – like this one right now. The more we learn to appreciate moments like this, the more we appreciate and enjoy our whole life. We can’t change what already happened but we can choose the way we respond today

What a brilliant week! Still pinching myself that Villa won major European trophy for the first time since I was 8 in 1982 🎉🏆 Memorable moments with Harry, hope he doesn’t have to wait another 44 years! #UTV 💜💙

Mental health is just as important as physical health - in fact they go hand in hand. It’s been great supporting Mental Health Awareness Week and I really like this “top 10” actions list which links so closely to everything we’ve spent 15 years promoting @actionhappiness.bsky.social

When your mind feels stuck, get outside and move your body 🌳🏃‍♂️ Did you know that just 20 minutes in nature can help reduce stress levels? Fresh air and movement aren’t just great for our bodies, they’re great for our mental health too

‼️🧀 Warning: overly enthusiastic first-time author! 📸 a photographer needed to get some shots of me with the book ahead of this week’s launch - and I think it’s fair to say I look a bit keen 🤣 All slightly ridiculous but quite fun too. 4 days to go! 🙌 geni.us/MakeLifeHapp...

Still can’t quite believe I’ve written a book! I spent years on this because I truly believe in these ideas. All around us we see people who aren’t at peace with themselves or each other. But by combining self-care AND caring for others, we really can make life happier together

Did you know our Solar System is moving through space at around 230 km per second? That means every year, we travel billions of kilometres together through the Milky Way. So even when life feels stuck or uncertain, we’re always moving forward.

I love this insight from the science of ‘behavioural activation’. We don’t need to wait for motivation before taking action. Changing what we do changes how we feel
