CupOfTherapy - Hour by hour - 100 observations about working life - Antti Ervasti, Matti Pikkujämsä

How many emotions fit into one day! Hour by hour is an aptly illustrated and written work community book by the authors of the CupOfTherapy phenomenon that has gained international popularity.

This book is the creation of psychotherapist Antti Ervasti and illustrator Matti Pikkujämsä about the always current and important topic, the balance between work and free time. It's like a big bear hug with a big message: It's normal to face adversity and problems, and we're important just the way we are, with all our hair.

CupOfTherapy is an internationally known (e.g. Muji Japan, Korea and Germany) concept that took off from social media, where with the help of easily approachable animal characters, important and challenging themes that support well-being and mental health are opened up for us humans. In the CupOfTherapy world, life's big and small nodes are described gently and warmly. They convey encouragement, comfort and humor with the picture and the corresponding powerful text.

"With the help of easily relatable animal characters, externalizing and reinterpreting difficult emotions can be more successful than an instructive self-help guide."
