As part of our ongoing campaign with Penguin Life to bring you books to inspire healthy living, this month we present Emotional Agility- psychologist Susan David’s guide to a new way of living and relating to yourself and the world around you.

Susan David has found that emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else. The difference is that the emotionally agile know how to unhook themselves from unhelpful patterns, and how to create values-based success with better habits and behaviours. With Emotional Agility, you can find out how to become one of those people: learn to face your emotions with acceptance and generosity, act according to your deepest values, and flourish.

We've got 50 copies of Emotional Agility to give away to Mumsnetters who want to read and share their thoughts about it on this discussion. Go to the giveaway page to find out more about the book and apply for a free copy.

You don't have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion. Anyone who has read Emotional Agility can post their feedback here. If you miss out on a free copy, you can always buy a paperback. All who post feedback before 13 June will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher.

This giveaway is sponsored by Penguin Life

Little Boxes - I am in exactly the same situation and hoping this book will give me the confidence and inspiration I am lacking!

I've recieved my copy, thank you. My DD1 is a highly sensitive child. I'm hoped that reading this will allow me to help her! So read chapter 10 first. I have now started again from the beginning and just finished chapter 1. So far I've found it well written and easy to read with useful advice on parenting, considering courses of action that may cause short term anxt but long term gains and leading by example. Gonna try and put some of this into action now

My copy has arrived and am about to start reading it. I'm in a slightly bad work situation at the moment but a bit scared about making the break, so I'm hoping it'll give me lots of inspiration! Will come back to post once I'm into the book.

Certainly makes you think about what kind of person you are and understand your own thought processes. Whether it's easy enough to change is what will be really interesting! I look forward to seeing whether it makes a difference in time!

Really interesting book, although there are some areas I've not tapped into yet.Definitely something for everyone here, gives a lot of food for thought.

I received my copy (thank you very much!!) and have started reading it. I am on chapter 2 and I am hooked. It sounds really interesting and I can’t wait to apply it to my everyday life to be able to react to my work and life demands in a better way and get better outcomes in life.

I've got a mortgage, 3 children under 5 and a husband. Really need to get it sorted.

Does anyone have any good advice on writing a good will? Who to go to etc...
