Hello all. I'm Toni, based in Norfolk, UK (but often found in east and west London). Currently reading Manifesto and Die With Zero as well as 100+ days into my slow read of A Course in Miracles...
Hi I’m Jaimie currently living just outside of Oxford City (UK) I’ve been interested and involved with self help in all its forms personally and professionally for over 40 years since I was diagnosed with a post viral neurological chronic condition as a teenage girl. I’m taking a psychosynthesis refresher course at the moment, and reading a lot about typology, neurology and attachment
That’s so kind of you to say Toni. It has been a journey with some amazing people and teachers along the way who have been true blessings in my life just when I needed help 🙏💕
I’m Pip, based in Bristol UK 🇬🇧. Been a shelf helper for about 4 years now and I love it and the community. In fact based on our recent book I have actually been thinking about friends and community and how I would love to do more of the things that fills my cup and cue the “big magic” here pops up this idea. Love this Toni and thank you again - can’t wait to see where this goes. Here is to manifesting 9 more Bristol peeps!
Hi everyone, I'm Vikki, formerly of Liverpool but moved down here to Bristol at the end of March - from the North West of England to the South West! I'm currently reading a manga because I love them so much, but I've recently been reading self help 'kinda' stuff on menopause and autism/Asperger's ☺️
Shellie - one of our OG Hosts! How is LA?! Send her my love. Also, excellent book. I just started doing 'The Class' digitally as a way to start shaking it all off... do you know it?!
Hello! I’m Jillian, based in Michigan in the US. I’m currently re-reading The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown and also just started Dear Writer by Maggie Smith.
Hello everyone! I live in a place called Leighton Buzzard UK which, due to its silly name, people often seem to know. I’d love to have a club here but know that there may not be any other people here so London is also an option for me if it’s central. X
Hi I’m Jo, I live in Norwich avid self development reader since my midlife awakening in 2017 last book I read was Gabby Bernstein Self Help book love al her books x
Hi everyone! I love this idea! I am in Sutton, South London. I have been seriously working on myself for around 5 years (or maybe it started when I was a teenager, buying books about child development which I didn't understand...!). I am currently reading "Mind Magic" by Dr James Doty, which is also about manifesting, but with much more science background.
Hi Kathrin... did you see our interview with South Londoner Candice?! Love the sound of Mind Magic. Did you ever read The Source (Dr Tara Swart) - lots of lovely neuroscience (and a bit of magic)?
Love this Toni, great idea! 👍🤩 Hi everyone! I’m Eva and live in Hampshire, England. Within easy (ish) reach of central and West London. Currently reading “Really Good, Actually” by Monica Heisey and listening to “Raising a Happier Mother” by Anna Marthur. The book that has had the biggest impact on my life in recent years is Beth Kempton’s “Kokoro” 🥰
Hello I’m Lisa and I live in Margate Kent. I have piles of self help books and love this group for all the inspiration and feeling of togetherness. I loved Manifesto and am now reading Estelle Bingham Manifest Your True Essence.

Hello Hampshire :) Really Good Actually - I binge listened to a serialisation of this on BBC Sounds. Loved it! And we all love Beth.

Hello Lisa, Are you enjoying Estelle's book? They are such different takes on manifesting, but I think a really nice compliment to each other...
Yes, very much so, it’s so gentle in the approach to manifesting but powerful and I agree with you that they compliment each other well.
