Books and podcasts to nourish your body and soul this summer

- 

Before long, it will be the season when we all collectively decide to sweat off the summer break and put our New Year's resolutions into practice. And while that's all well and good - in fact, more power to you - who says you can't make small, meaningful steps towards health and wellness before the new year even begins?

As with most things that shape our lives, this starts with what we consume - the books we read, the podcasts we play, the voices we let in. From inspiring words of wisdom and evidence-based insights to tantalising tete-a-tetes, here's everything you need to fill your eyes, ears and mind this summer.

HOW TO BE WELL

If the constant juggling act that is modern life has you feeling stressed, exhausted and quite frankly burnt out, then How to Be Well: A Handbook for Women needs to be at the top of your must-read list.

Written by medicine specialist Dr Karen Coates and renowned wellness advocate Sharon Kolkka, this compelling read is an unflinching exploration of the pressures of womanhood navigated with warmth, compassion and humour - one that you will most likely recommend to friends time and time again.
