Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness - 9780648023852 - Matt Otley - Dirt Lane Press - The Little Lost Bookshop

Author: Matt Otley | Publisher: Dirt Lane Press

The Tree of Ecstasy & Unbearable Sadness is an allegorical story of a boy's experience of psychosis, with mental illness represented as a fantastical tree whose flowers are ecstasy and whose fruit is unbearable sadness. Stunning drawings and paintings lead the reader through the boy's early discovery of his strangeness, his surrender to the disease (an all-consuming tree), the ensuing psychotic journey, and eventual self-acceptance. The recording of a full orchestral score composed by the author-illustrator will accompany the book, and an international tour is planned.

Creative First Aid review

A rather chunky text with some fabulous ideas and highly informative explanations/ introductions. A colleague brought this book to my attention and I borrowed her copy. I had only read approx a quarter and decided that I needed my very own copy. This book needs time, focus and attention to be fully appreciated, absorbed and put into practice. I am definitely looking forward to learning more about creative ways to support mine and my children's mental health AND to encorporating suggestions from the authors into my daily/weekly/monthly routine. So far, the creative processes I have read about seem reasonably easy to implement. I think every household would benefit from this book!

Convenient and helpful from a distance.

I am so happy with this book shop and the ability to be able to buy online vouchers. They were helpful and friendly when needed.

Stunning book that we'll keep for life!

The Wheel of the Year An Illustrated Guide to Nature's Rhythms is the perfect book for connecting in with the seasons and I know it will be a staple in our home for many years to come. So many gorgeous activities, information and wonderful illustrations, you really can't go wrong. I also love supporting independent business, and the Little Lost Bookshop offered delightful service!

Hidden gem!

A must read for anyone want to get ahead on LinkedIn
