Book Launch: When You’re Not OK by Jill Stark

Join Jill Stark at Readings Carlton for the launch of her latest book When You’re Not OK: a toolkit for tough times. She will be joined by Georgie Harman, CEO of Beyond Blue, who will lead an 'In Conversation' as they discuss mental health and what Jill has learned from navigating her way through life's rocky parts.

When You’re Not OK is a self-care manual for the days when you feel alone — the days when you worry that you’re too weird or broken or unfixable to be normal. With compassion, humour, and honesty, Jill offers signposts to help you find the path back to yourself. Whether you’re having a bad day, or a run of bad days that seems never-ending, this is an emotional first-aid kit for your body, mind, and soul, written by someone who’s been there too.
