Description Description

As the saying goes, life is short — but also looooooooong. Pick Me Up is for the days that aren't catastrophic, but still feel like a LOT. It's for the Tuesday blahs, the quiet car cries, the 3pm slumps. The middle-of-the-night, what-even-is-life moments. It's for the mess and muddle of life, a sparkly handbook to bring you back to where you'd one day like to be.

Bestselling author, cancer survivor and joy ambassador Briony Benjamin knows that life can get heavy, whether from healing and recovery, the cost-of-living crisis, climate anxiety or global despair. Maybe you're in the middle of a big new challenge, or simply in a "meh" phase? If life is feeling hard, you're in the right place.

Forget 5am ice baths and 7-day cures, Briony offers gentle, real-world self-care to meet you where you are, such as:

– Simple ways to immediately switch on your body's calm mode
– The one thing you should do when you feel completely stuck
– How (and why) to shift the story you're telling your body
– Gratitude hacks for people who think gratitude is lame
– Why your home should be weirder
– How to keep caring about the world while still carrying on

Full of humour and inspiration, Pick Me Up is for anyone who feels like they're in a leaking dinghy in the middle of a cyclone. It's a promise that there are clearer days ahead and you can ride out the storm without flipping over.

Briony Benjamin

Briony Benjamin is an author, speaker and changemaker whose humorous and heartfelt videos have racked up more than 200 million views (which is a lot of eyeballs, even if some were only half-paying attention). While working as Executive Producer at Mamamia, she was diagnosed with advanced blood cancer after more than a year of feeling off, an experience she documented in her viral video You Only Get One Life, which went on to inspire her first book Life is Tough (But So Are You). Drawing on everything she learnt in the aftermath of chemo, through chronic fatigue, heartbreak, uncertainty and the slow rebuild back to herself, Briony now creates warm, honest, no-nonsense support for when life feels like a lot, helping people feel a little better, one small, very doable step at a time.
