Advantages: Great magazine with interesting features

Disadvantages: none that I can think of

I found this magazine a good hybrid between a psychology textbook and a fashion type magazine the likes of Glamour, Cosmopolitan etc.
The magazine brings psychology into a new light, rather than being a lot of neurones or even a patranoising self help book instead the magazine gives good simple advice on issues such as stress, assertiveness, self image etc. It still contains the usual celebrity features, however has them talking about more than just hair and make up. One article I found incredibly useful was one on relaxing using the five senses, although it may sound simple, it gave good ideas on little five minute tips to maintain a sense of calm and peace. I'm not going to say the magazine is life changing and in itself a kind of ephiphany on how we can all become better people, however in a society which is beggining to focus evermore on mental health issues, the magazine gives good insight in simple ways to maintain a good standard of mental health, simply by taking things into consideration which can reduce the everyday stresses.

I found the magazine was a refreshing change and I could read it over and over, taking from it practical ideas on how to improve life, not my wardrobe.

The magazine is released monthly and they often have good deals on if you take out a subscription with them for the year.
