Born to be Mild

Rob Temple

'If you're looking to ease yourself back into normality after lockdown Born to be Mild should be top of your reading list' Mail Online

A funny life-affirming memoir from the creator of social media empire Very British Problems about how to start again when everything's gone wrong.

By the time Rob Temple hit his thirties he had become so afraid of the world that he couldn't leave the house. Depressed and anxious he found himself drifting deeper into solitude.

So Rob decided to make a plan - to embark on fifty 'mild' adventures to be a little less Pooh Bear and a little more Bear Grylls. On a gentle journey that takes him beekeeping bowling and to a service station just off the M25 Rob starts to settle on a better balance - and soon discovers the joys of a life well lived.

In this raw and honest memoir Rob shares his year of gentle adventure and the lessons learnt along the way. Quiet and comforting with a generous helping of British humour Born to be Mild is a guide to living life unencumbered by mental illness and a reminder to slow down and embrace your mild side.
