About Book Therapy

We are overloaded.

We’re exhausted. We’re buried under demands and pressures and information. We’ve lost ourselves in the noise.

Think of the student who works all his spare hours in a café to pay the rent. The executive who wants to get home to see her family but the meeting’s running over. The man who’s trying to get the dinner finished but the kids are fighting on the couch.

We have become what we do; we have become our busyness. We’re ignoring life’s simple pleasures, In the rare moments we get to stop, we turn to the internet, where we’re confronted with terror and war, brand new health scares and the shimmering curated lives of our online friends. Our own time has been hijacked, and it’s killing us.

What if there was a way to turn down the volume, reduce the pressure and reward ourselves properly?

There is: welcome to Book Therapy.

Come in, make yourself at home. At Book Therapy, you can choose a reading experience – a journey, an adventure, an emotion – and escape into the author’s world, giving you time to breathe. Whatever you choose will be good – all our books are by the world’s top 100 authors.

You can get a personalized prescription of books from the Book Doctor, helping you tackle whatever you’re facing.

You can join us to learn something new in a workshop, or listen to a wonderful story being read live.
