Finding True North

An illuminating and enlightening book, beautifully illustrating the importance of place on our mental and physical wellbeing.

Finding True North reminds me why I would rather consult a physician who at times struggles herself, rather than one who has remained above the fray.

Quietly moving... a timely reminder of the stabilising effects of attachment to place.

Linda Gask’s writing and wisdom about depression are like no one else’s and I turn to it time and time again to feel the comforting chime of shared experience.

Intriguing, poignant and highly readable.

This is recovery not as a political stick with which to beat the disenfranchised, but self-help and self-care that is truly transformative.

Finding True North is beautifully written... It is powerful and moving and quite exceptional.

Sensitive, thoughtful and informed.

Insightful study of solitude, mental health and geography... This book feels like a place of refuge in itself, and I highly recommend it.
