    About the book

    The science-backed guide to help students thrive, not just survive, at university. Today's students are under more pressure than ever, with more than half reporting a mental health issue. Student Thrive Mode offers a way forward that works with your biology, not against it: a lifestyle-first approach grounded in neuroscience, habit-building and real student stories, drawing on expert interviews with GPs and trauma therapists. It equips students with preventative, repeatable habits to understand their biology, reclaim agency over their wellbeing and build resilience that lasts far beyond university, and includes a 14-day Thrive Mode plan.
