Dr Alan Desmond MB, BCh, BAO, BMedSc, MRCPI, FRCP Consultant Gastroenterologist & General Physician.

After completing my PhD in organic chemistry, I worked in R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. Inspired by the placebo effect, and how some people's conditions would improve because they believed a placebo was a real drug, I left the industry to write books and educate people in how they can harness their mind and emotions to improve their mental and physical health.

I'm now author of 11 books, including the Amazon bestseller, The Five Side Effects of Kindness. I'm also a columnist, The Kindness Tsar for Psychologies Magazine, and have been a featured guest on Channel 4's, Sunday Brunch Live in the UK and CBS Sunday Morning in the USA, as well as on several BBC radio shows and podcasts around the world.

I'm also the honorary scientific advisor for the charity, 52 Lives.

I'm an advocate for kindness and work passionately to inspire a kinder world.

Be kind is more than just a hashtag.

From anxious recluse to trier, speaker, author and, some days, trainee astronaut, Paula McGuire is the world’s least likely adventurer, with the world’s most inspiring adventure story.

Paula ‘Must Try Harder’ McGuire isn’t exactly your average adventurer. She doesn’t even own a sleeping bag. In fact, Paula spent her early years hiding from life and seeking better places to hide, eventually finding her world shrinking to the confines of her own home without an escape route. Thirty years of crippling social anxiety will do that to a girl.

Adventure became Paula’s personal therapy in 2012 and, ever since, she has terrified herself daily in the name of recovery. So far, it’s working.
