Reseña del libro "Pull Your Socks Up: A love story and self help memoir of mental health recovery (en Inglés)"
Part memoir, part self help guide, one hundred percent love story.Pull Your Socks Up! is a hands on, lived experience, self-help book which will help those suffering from depression and anxiety. It offers a sense of hope and optimism.For over thirty-five years, Kate Hull Rodgers has been telling her story of the battles and the triumphs and the constant struggles she has had with her crippling mental illness; from psychosis, depression and anxiety. For twenty-eight of those years, Bill has been a constant companion, loyal husband, father and carer. He found himself thrust into the carer's role and is now Kate's support as and when needed. Like the old adage says, "in sickness and in health". Because of the tools in this book, Kate is on the road of recovery and Bill's role as a carer is less and less needed. This gives Bill more time to be a good husband and father.Both Kate and Bill have spoken in twenty-nine countries: advising businesses, health organizations, individuals and governments on good mental health practices and the recovery journey.Between them, they have received many awards and accolades for their work within the mental health community. Amongst these, Kate has received the UK Mental Health and Wellbeing Award for "Most Inspirational Story - Lived Experience" .Kate Hull Rodgers is a world-renowned speaker and trainer. Her first book, 'Pearls of Bizdom', became a business best seller. Bill is a well-known actor, writer and theatre director.'Kate's work is simple but profound.'Jenny Shipley, former Prime Minister of New Zealand"Bill is a rough-cut gem and has more than his fair share of empathy."The Guardian Newspaper
