This is eat sleep work repeat, a weekly series of podcasts about happiness and work culture. Hello everyone happy work week

I saw we imagine people don't listen to this at the weekends is that right that's why I drop out on

a Monday it's like kind of I was gonna drop an episode last Saturday or Sunday and I thought

people are just enjoying their weekends chill out anyway happy work day work day. Hi this is Bruce

Taseley. I've wanted to do an episode on mental health for a while and there's one

person I wanted to do it with Emily Reynolds is a remarkable writer. She writes

Ace stuff for publications like Wired, stylists, The Guardian, Vice. Some of it

occasionally, just occasionally, is about mental health. Her mental health

doesn't define her any more than my color blindness

defines me. That was my attempt to be relatable. Anyhow, the old measure of a remarkable

writer would be that they had the patronage and

support of a broadsheet editor or they had like a zesty opinion column in a

quality tabloid. I think the the modern measure of a remarkable writer is the reviews that you read about them on Amazon

and the reviews of Emily's book a beginner's guide to losing your mind are just remarkable.

She was people starry-eyed saying how it's helped them relate to family and

friends or it's transform their own life. Someone who's just creating

writing that inspires and helps thousands of people.

Her book is a beginner's guide to losing your mind.

She's also one of the founders of the second source,

which we covered in the Me Too episode about eight episodes ago.

During the chat with Emily, we move on to cover Me Too.

I've included it in the show notes.
