Shining Brightly | Book, Weekly Planner & Bundle by Mark Scarborough

Practical ideas and tools for building a happier and more meaningful life.

Shining Brightly by clinical psychologist Mark Scarborough brings together psychological research, longstanding philosophical ideas and insights developed through many years of working with clients.

Rather than focusing on one particular challenge, Shining Brightly takes a broader look at wellbeing and the things that can help us build a life that feels happier and more meaningful.

The hardcover book can be used on its own or alongside the Shining Brightly Weekly Planner & Building Good Habits, which was created to help readers put the ideas into practice and continue working with them over time.

Choose the hardcover book, the weekly planner on its own, or the complete book and planner bundle.
