Shelf Absorbed 2: Mental Health

This episode focuses on two books and two films: Maybe You Should Talk To Someone (2019) by Lori Gottlieb; Grief Works (2017) by Julia Samuels; Little Miss Sunshine (2006) dir. Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris; and Harvey (1950) dir. Henry Koster.

We also mention The Full Catastrophe (2016) by Carol Elizabeth Lee and A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu (1913-27) by Marcel Proust.

Two films that almost made it in but were just edged out are Silver Linings Playbook (2012) dir. David O Russell and The Fisher King (1991) dir. Terry Gilliam - highly recommend them for some different takes.

We'd also love to hear any suggestions you might have.

About the Podcast

Shelf Absorbed
New Fiji friends Ben Wheeler and Sarah Gwonyoma discuss the books and films on their shelves.
A little loose in terms of content and style as we learn the ropes, this show sets out once a month a to discuss a selected subject through the books and films we have read and seen that explore it.

It is not meant to be comprehensive account of the subject, rather our own perspective, informed by the stories we have consumed.

We hope you like it and want to join the discussion on any of the social media platforms on which we post.
