Where will you be taking #mindfulsoldier on your summer holidays? Dr Jess and I love seeing where you’re reading and continue to be humbled by your ratings and reviews - do please keep them coming, as they really help others find the book (Amazon/Goodreads).
On UK Armed Forces Day 2026, I'd like thank all those still in uniform, who go above and beyond each and every day, serving others to keep us all safe, and also to every veteran, many of whom are living with the impact of their service long after retirement. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
Do keep the #MindfulSoldier online ratings and reviews coming, as Dr Jess and I love seeing what is resonating with readers and listeners. Please do also keep recommending to colleagues, friends and family and help support some brilliant international veterans charities in the process.
Amazon’s Prime Day sees #mindfulsoldier at 20% discount, making for an excellent belated Father’s Day gift 🎁 🥰 amzn.eu/d/0eeon7YT
To all the dads out there on #fathersday. If, once again, you’re separated from your kids, by geography or circumstance, please remember that you’re not alone. Being able to measure time with my own daughter, after nearly two decades, in days and weeks rather than months or years, is always tough.
Today marks the 5-yr anniversary of this (Ill-considered!) Covid hotel room ultra marathon. While the 5 hrs, 52km and ~11,500 shuttles were not entirely enjoyable, it was a great opportunity to shine a light on issues of loneliness, isolation and mental health and raise money for #rbve. Onwards!
