Our CALM recommended reading for November/December
A Thousand Feasts by Nigel Slater
‘‘There is so much to feast on. The sight of a wave of snowdrops under the gnarled branches of an oak tree; the crisp pages of a new diary; a battered wicker basket of dumplings fresh from the steamer. These diminutive pleasures are there if we care to look for them, little joys illuminating an increasingly darkening world. They feed the soul and nourish the spirit. Or at least they do mine.’
This book has been a significant source of inspiration for CALM and is perfect for this time of year.
Read this to be inspired:
- how the smallest and simplest things can bring us the greatest treasures
- if you’ve forgotten for a while how beautiful the world can be

tiny habits
In effective workplace culture that believes that to do well, you need to be well, it’s not enough to have intermittent wellbeing interventions and activities
growth mindset
Recognition of the intrinsic link between productivity and wellbeing needs to sit at the heart of culture and mindset, not simply manifest as a lunchtime yoga session or a website with a helpline number
support team
It’s about considering the best way to create and deliver sustainable change through small steps and including people along the way giving people full permission to experiment and fail fast, championing kindness and care to develop powerful support teams for truly positive, holistic business and people outcomes
