60-Second Therapy

Millie Hardie hears the same themes again and again: people are overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to navigate stress, self-doubt, and burnout with very little understanding of how their brains actually process thought and emotion.
Drawing on Millie’s wildly popular sixty-second psychology videos, this warm, compassionate, and practical book acts as an emotional first-aid kit for modern life. Once we understand how our brains operate, we can work with them rather than against them. Your brain is not broken. It is wired for survival, not happiness, and small, realistic shifts in how we regulate and respond can change everything.
Using everyday objects like teapots, hula hoops, balloons, and buckets, Millie translates evidence-based psychology into simple, visual tools that make complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. Grounded in CBT, ACT, DBT, and contemporary trauma-informed practice, and delivered without jargon or judgement, this book is packed with accessible, bite-sized insights designed to help your brain become a calmer, kinder place to live.
