Talking Points 1

Hi Q,

Thanks for joining!! - You are the first person to join, Talking pooints. I have just set up the website and thank you for being an early adopter! The intention is to have a newsletter/blog/email which discusses mood and the impact and difficulties of mood management. I have a book coming out with Rodale, MacMillan in October on Mood Mapping, and I want to develop the concept of mood.

So much of our life is made difficult because of problems managing mood. The book is revolutionary (I hope!) because it describes a new approach to mood and looks at how much our mood affects our ability to enjoy life, to learn, to have relationships etc etc. Mood Mapping is one of very few books that has mood as its primary subject. Although other books have mood in their title, they are largely related to the effect of cognitive behaviour therapy on mood, rather than mood itself.

As Q, you are the first person to join Talking PointsI will send you a free copy of Mood Mapping when it is published in October.

My own interest in mood comes from having experienced bipolar disorder for ten years, between the ages of thirty and forty. I am now clear of it, medication free etc. However mood affects everyone and I have used Mood Mapping in a number of companies to help manage the mood of the company - mood affects top end as well as bottom end performance!

Out of interest what brought you to the site?

Best wishes

Liz
