Today’s guest is Helen Russell, a British journalist, happiness researcher and international bestselling author of <em>The Year of Living Danishly, Leap Year, Gone Viking </em>and<em> The Atlas of Happiness. </em>Helen was formerly the editor of Marie Claire online and has been a long term writer for <em>The Telegraph, Stylist, Metro, The Independent </em>and many others. Today we are going to be speaking about her new book and I implore every single person to read this. It’s called <em>How to be Sad. </em>I saw this title a few months ago and I thought this couldn’t be a more relevant book for my show. Embracing our full emotional spectrum is not easy but thankfully Helen is here to share her wisdom about getting happier by being sad.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>With so much going on in the world right now, it’s important we don’t suppress our emotions. We are all allowed emotions and I hope this conversation helps you learn how to embrace them.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><em>How to be Sad is out in paperback in January 2022 </em>and you can pre-order it here: <a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Sad-Everything-learned-getting/dp/0008384592/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=  \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Sad-Everything-learned-getting/dp/0008384592/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr= <em> </em></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find Helen: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mshelenrussell/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@mshelenrussell</a></p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/</a></p><p>Podcast: <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/how-to-be-sad-with-helen-russell/id1550928939 \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/how-to-be-sad-with-helen-russell/id1550928939 </a></p><p>Books: <a href=\"https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/books/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.helenrussell.co.uk/books/</a></p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p>The code for the free product is <strong>NOTPERFECTFREE</strong>.
