Praise for All in the Mind:

We all mind about our brains. All in the Mind gives you an idea of what you should really mind about. Norman Swan:

I opened All in the Mind expecting another book about mental ill health and a highly technical one at that. Instead, I found a highly readable collection of people's stories and insights, from the experts who live with or support loved ones with mental health challenges to the experts in science, health, and academia. Lynne explores and demystifies the workings of our most complex organ - the brain - by sharing people's experiences with the skill of a compass.
