Ed Cunningham

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 32, my guest this week is Ed Cunningham from A Need to Read podcast!

A Need to Read is a podcast that brings you honest and engaging book reviews, unstructured chats with inspirational guests and important conversations.

Ed has openly talked about his own mental health and how reading has really helped him to make positive changes that played a big part in him changing his life and getting better.  He’s also a huge advocate for therapy, meditation and a lot of practices that can be incredibly beneficial for mental wellbeing.

I really wanted to do a podcast specifically about the power of reading as for me it’s an incredibly important tool for both self-improvement and self-care.

Ed takes me through his own struggles with depression and anxiety and we chat about how reading helped him to navigate some tough times and changed how he viewed both himself and the world around him. 

We chat about therapy, being impulsive, meditation, journaling and of course I ask Ed to recommend some of the books that have had the biggest impact on his state of mind.

You can listen to A Need to Read on all podcast platforms and connect with Ed on Instagram @aneed2read.  His website is www.aneedtoread.co.uk.

If you’d like to chat to me about anything at all then I’m on @propermentalpodcast on all socials or you can email me via my website www.propermentalpodcast.com.

If you could take a minute to leave me 5 stars and a few kind words it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks for listening!  Enjoy!
