The Lessons How I learnt to Manage My Mental Health and How You Can Too

'If you want to develop real strength and resilience, read this book.' Tom Daley

Nile Wilson has always been one of life's winners; a charismatic young man with an Olympic bronze medal in the Horizontal Bar at just 21 years old. But after a serious neck injury, forcing him to retire early and miss taking part in the Tokyo Olympics, Nile's world fell apart.

Swamped with depression, anxiety and addictive behaviours, his mental health went over a cliff. Over the past few years, Nile has had to face down his demons and accept his new reality, and this is the book he wish he'd been given before it all began.

Based on 15 hard-won lessons, Nile will guide you through the tools that have helped him come to back from the brink and find, for the first time, a sense of inner calm and renewed purpose. From recognizing destructive patterns, redefining success and managing self-talk, The Lessons will inspire and guide you through the ups and downs of life, and help you to build resilience and self-belief, no matter what.

Nile Wilson is a British Olympian medal-winning gymnast who won a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics on the Horizontal Bar - the first ever UK Olympic medal in that discipline. He also won 5 medals at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, 3 Gold and 2 Silver, which is the most by any English gymnast in the history of the games. Niles was ranked by The Sunday Times at 36 in the top 100 Influencers in the United Kingdom, and he recently won the BBC 3 series 'Dancing on Ice' and stars on 'Go Hard or Go Home'.
