THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Dr Nicole LePera, known to her followers as The Holistic Psychologist, started her journey out of frustration with the constraints of conventional psychotherapy. Her innovative philosophy integrates comprehensive health principles that address not only the mind but also the body and spirit. It’s a holistic approach to healing, which she herself embraced before sharing her findings with a broader audience.

"My favourite Instagram account in the world." - Dr Rangan Chatterjee

"If LePera's Instagram feed is full of aha moments illuminating the inner workings of your psyche, the revelations in the book are more like a full firework display." - Red magazine

In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera presents a manifesto for self-healing and an indispensable guide to cultivating a vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing from the latest scientific research and diverse healing modalities, she helps readers recognise how adverse childhood experiences and trauma shape our present behaviour. These unresolved issues often result in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Without intervention, these behaviours can become cyclical, leaving individuals feeling stuck and unfulfilled.

"This book is a must-read for anyone on a path of personal growth." - Gabby Bernstein, author of number one New York Times bestsellers Super Attractor and The Universe Has Your Back

"The book I wish I had read in my twenties." - Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail

Dr LePera's previously unpublished protocol, now available in How to Do the Work, provides readers with the essential support and tools to break free from these destructive patterns. This book invites readers to reclaim their lives and embrace their full potential. It offers a paradigm shift in how we view mental wellness and self-care, making it a significant contribution to the realm of personal development literature.

"How to Do the Work will transform how you see yourself and your ability to change. I believe this book could change lives, if not the world." - Holly Bourne, bestselling author of How Do You Like Me Now?

"Want more from life? Looking for answers? How to Do the Work will teach you how to find them within yourself. A masterpiece of empowerment - this book changed my life and, trust me, it'll change yours too." - Mel Robbins, author of The 5 Second Rule

How to Do the Work is not just a book; it’s an invitation to embark on a life-altering journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. This powerful guide will help readers break free from the chains of past traumas and self-sabotaging behaviours, making way for a brighter, healthier, and more fulfilling future.
