Key points

The missing link we need to be happier is awareness

The conversation about mental health is one of the most puzzling ones. Although one could say that emotional wellness is a hot topic today, the stigma still lingers. As a result, many people feel uncertain and confused about how to handle their well-being.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of background or status.

Julie Smith, a renowned physiologist, noticed this firsthand while speaking with her clients. They frequently expressed surprise and gratitude upon learning about emotional wellness, remarking, “Why has nobody told me this before?” This simple question reveals the power of knowledge but highlights the lack of resources available to those struggling.

Unfortunately, therapy may not always be financially feasible. Moreover, there's an overwhelming amount of misinformation online, making it challenging to discover the necessary tools on your own.

In response to this problem, Julie began creating and sharing short videos on mental health topics that gained millions of followers.

Small steps toward mental health improvement can lead to significant changes over time.

Although Julie caught people's attention and initiated conversations about mental health, she still wanted to do more. Creating a 60-second video meant leaving out a lot of detail, which may be crucial for improvement. Therefore, she decided to provide more comprehensive information on putting essential concepts into practice. That is where this summary comes in.

Within a short time, you will learn techniques that may help you alleviate the symptoms of depression, reduce stress, and combat anxiety. You will discover the tips and tricks most people learn in therapy. By equipping yourself with this knowledge, you can take proactive steps toward improving your mental health, even if you cannot access professional treatment.

Negative emotions do not define you

For better or worse, low mood comes with being human. Frustrating moments can bring us down, but they don't have to determine our day’s course or overall well-being.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
