This episode is all about the newest fad “mood-boosting” books. We review a mood-boosting book called ‘The Alphabet of the Human Heart’ by Matthew Johnstone, famous author of ‘I had a Black Dog’, which is all about the ups and downs of life.

Then Shirley Jones from the Dunedin City Library talks to us about why self-help books are so popular, and the particular benefits of having the evidence-based and peer-reviewed books in the library.
