Overview
This two-book hardback collection brings together Bryony Gordon's most candid writing on mental health and recovery. No Such Thing as Normal is a warm, practical guide covering sleep, worry, therapy, medication, self-image, and boundary setting. Its companion, Glorious Rock Bottom, is a raw sobriety memoir tracing twenty years of addiction through to rehab and recovery. Together the two hardbacks pair everyday, actionable mental health advice with a deeply personal recovery story, offering a survival toolkit alongside a message of hope from one of Britain's most trusted mental health voices.

About the Books
No Such Thing as Normal is Bryony Gordon's straight-talking companion for anyone struggling with the pressures of daily life. Drawing on her work founding the peer-support network Mental Health Mates, Gordon covers sleep, food, work, breathing, and the power of walking and talking things through, demystifying therapy, medication, and an overstretched healthcare system with grounded, evidence-informed advice. Glorious Rock Bottom takes a more personal turn, chronicling Gordon's two-decade relationship with alcohol and drugs and the moment everything came apart. The memoir moves through rehab, the twelve steps, and the slow, unglamorous work of staying sober one day at a time — unflinching about relapse and fear, yet equally clear-eyed about the pride sustained recovery brings. Read together, the two hardbacks complement each other: one offers a practical framework for managing mental health day to day, while the other shows what rebuilding a life from its lowest point looks like. Both carry Gordon's unmistakable voice — funny, self-deprecating, and disarmingly honest — making her one of the most widely read mental health writers in Britain.
