It looked like a set from the BBC series Line Of Duty with a blizzard of sticky notes stuck to every wall of the home office.

But Nik Bunney wasn’t trying to solve a crime; he was trying to solve himself. Now, more than five years on from that scene at his house in Essex, the City stockbroker-turned-author has used his research to write a book with a compelling message: taking control of your own mental health is as simple as ABC. “It’s ABCD to be accurate,” laughs the 41-year-old father-of-two. “Authenticity, balance, consistency and discipline.” ABCD: Finding Happiness Through Awareness, Values, Principles, And Actions is designed as a handbook for everyone who’s in the same place that Nik was – feeling overwhelmed, anxious and trapped.
