Dr Julie Smith has a new book on the horizon. Learn all about it here!
Dr Julie Smith is a doctor, author and creator of the @drjulie Instagram and TikTok accounts – which have a whopping 2 million and 4.7 million followers, respectively.
Known for her straightforward, informed advice, the psychologist is a pro at summarising complex information into bite-sized snippets.
Covering a range of issues from anxiety to relationship difficulties, Dr Julie’s videos help her followers better understand themselves and those around them. In 2022, her first book, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, distilled her wisdom into a practical handbook for better mental health.
The book sold over a million copies worldwide and was widely acclaimed, garnering praise from every corner of the media. From podcaster and author Steven Bartlett to fashion and beauty magazine Marie Claire, it’s fair to say that her book has been just as impactful as her bite-sized videos.
But the buzz doesn’t stop there.
Having made a splash with her first book, Dr Julie Smith has just announced a second book on the horizon, coming out in January 2025.
Titled Open When . . . , the book is a companion for life’s twists and turns, offering guidance anytime you feel overwhelmed.
Whether you’re facing grief, self-doubt, relationship issues or burnout, Open When . . . will guide you through navigating life’s complex problems – no matter how big. Each chapter begins with a letter from Dr Julie to the reader, imparting her signature warmth and understanding.
From there, she offers up simple, straightforward advice so that you can understand how best to respond and act when faced with something challenging. By reframing life’s difficulties, you’ll be able to navigate tough moments to return to a place of strength and positivity.
