Mental Health, Depression

A practical guide for downsizers and seachangers and anyone who is stuck in a rut.
What's stopping you from making the leap?
If you suffer from MTL ('There's got to be More To Life than this') syndrome, or have had change thrust upon you through bereavement, retrenchment or illness, or you just want to do something you've never done before, taking control is the first step toward getting a new life.
Packed with check lists to help you determine where you're at, practical advice about managing your finances and inspiring interviews with those who have done it, Get a New Life is a road map towards your dream destination.
Forget the extreme makeovers shown on reality TV, where so-called experts suddenly appear at your door, blow away your shabby old existence and replace it with something new, exciting and glamourous. Real change is about YOU - planning and looking at options, finding your own intrinsic qualities and matching them to the people, the places and the activities which sing to your soul.
This is the essential guide to planning the life you want to live.
