Description
‘This is my favourite book in the series. Emotional and mental wellbeing/fitness is a priority for a lot of people and this book makes it simple to understand and provides practical and useful exercises that can be used for your own wellbeing as well as your team – whether it’s a 1-2-1 client, a team of colleagues or your family – this book isn’t limited to just the work environment! From understanding your starting point, setting wellbeing goals and making improvements, I love that Dr Audrey Tang provides you with a variety of tools that you can pick and choose from depending on which you feel is best for you and your team.’ Robb Henderson, fitness professional, Ginger Monkey Fitness
‘In our highly pressured work life we so very often forget about wellbeing, focusing instead on goals, targets and outcomes. However, without wellbeing, productivity will always be limited. Dr Tang clearly and comprehensively outlines why we need to prioritise wellbeing as part of her three-pronged head–heart–gut model. The Leader’s Guide to Wellbeing gives tangible and practical tips to improve and maintain wellbeing, backed up by current research and best practice. As a psychologist and executive coach, I will be recommending this book to my clients for years to come!’ Dr Meg Arroll, Chartered Psychologist and author
‘This excellent book by Dr Tang provides busy professionals and leaders, who are not necessarily trained psychologists or organisational behaviour experts, with a concise, insightful and practical toolkit for establishing emotionally positive work environments and sustainable relations conducive to human emotional wellbeing.’ Dr Mario Burghausen, Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer), University of Essex
‘ The Leader’s Guide to Wellbeing is an excellent conclusion to the head, heart, gut trilogy of books. Dr Tang explains the value and relevance of wellbeing in the workplace and provides deep insight and meaning to those looking to develop their skills and knowledge in this key element of leadership. By providing insight, workable diagnostic tools, exercises and practical solution strategies, Dr Tang lifts the lid on how to create a culture of wellbeing that is achievable and sustainable!’ Rebekah Lightburn, People Business Partner
‘Dr Tang’s third book in her Leader’s Guide trilogy brings together work from different areas within psychology to offer both leaders and members of teams insights into what can affect their wellbeing at work. She packs in many practical and simple tools to help you identify where things could be improved as well as ideas about how to make those improvements happen. This book will appeal to people at different levels of organisations who want their working lives to support their overall health and wellbeing, and who want to make a real contribution to their workplace.’ Dr Helen McCarthy, Clinical Psychologist and author

A must-read!’ Keith Thong, UBSM, Chairman, Malaysian Book Industry Chamber; President, Malaysian Booksellers Association
‘Every leader today needs a guide like this from Audrey Tang to take you step by step through focusing on what may positively and negatively affect us. It gives us the full picture to help us understand what we value, and what we and others need at work and in life. All this is enriched by the latest research on wellbeing whilst challenging us to reflect and take action from chapter to chapter.’ Samatha Amit, mindfulness coach, leadership coach, mindfulness practitioner and holistic therapist
‘As a dedicated reader of leadership literature and a firm believer in self-improvement, I was thrilled to read Dr Audrey Tang’s newest book, The Leader’s Guide to Wellbeing.
This groundbreaking book has equipped me with the tools to become more effective, empathetic and resilient in today’s fast-paced, high-stakes world. Once again, Dr Tang gives her readers a comprehensive playbook for holistic leadership by exploring the intricate intersection of head, heart and gut – all equally crucial components to becoming a well-rounded and successful leader.’ Patricia J. Rullo, founder, Speak Up Talk Radio
‘Audrey Tang’s writing is beautiful, clear and uplifting. Thank goodness for her inspirational and hopeful spirit! Her writing gently yet powerfully shows you that there is always a way forward and that a better life is possible.’ Mark Farrelly, actor and writer
‘This book includes everything you need to know about wellbeing, something which is very close to my heart. It is full of positive ways to maintain and improve both your own mental and emotional health, as well as those you lead. I love that it covers various aspects of life, including equality and diversity, friendships and relationships and how your past experiences can affect how you approach wellbeing in your present. As always, Dr Tang’s work is backed up by research and is packed with references that can provide further information. However, what I like best is that it includes lots of exercises as well as ‘fit tips’ and ‘strength building exercises’ which enable you to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.’ Patsy Wright, Crisis Support Worker, NHS
‘I wholeheartedly recommend The Leader’s Guide to Wellbeing . With a focus on addressing both burnout and the lesser-known rust out, creating a positive culture in the workplace and being packed full of exercises, this book is a must-read for any leader looking to improve their team’s mental wellbeing. It offers a range of strategies and ideas, including several types of mental wellbeing rest, that can
help individuals and organisations thrive. I found the book to be an invaluable resource, and I am sure others will too!’ Andy Pierce, radio presenter and mental health advocate
